To tell the truth

To tell the truth

DVD - 2017

Working For Change: explores the birth of the social documentary, featuring interviews with several of the people who helped define and shape the form. The Strategy Of Truth: explores the role of film as propaganda during World War II, and the different forms it took in the US, the UK, and Germany. It also raises the central question of whether a film can be both documentary, reflecting the truth, and propaganda.
