Engaging with Reality: Documentary + Globalization

As our world becomes more globalized, documentary film and television tell in­creasingly cosmopolitan stories of the world’s social, political, and cultural situation. Ib Bondebjerg examines how global challenges are reflected and represented in documentaries from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Scandinavia after 2001. The documentaries discussed deal with the War on Terror, the globalization of politics, migration, the multicultural challenge, and climate change. Engaging with Reality is framed by theories of globalization from a social, political, and cultural perspective and delves into the global development of a new media culture. It also touches on the emergence of new digital platforms and ways of producing and distributing documentary film and television. It will be essential reading for filmmakers and viewers looking to better understand the new transnational approach to modern media.
