Documentary [section in progress]

The Camera gives cheap, prompt and correct facts to the public. 
Nam June Paik, No Idea of the Holy (1957)  



    This section will examine Lucien Castain-Taylor and Ilisa Barbash's film In and Out of Africa against Faye Ginsberg, Trinh T. Minh-Ha, and Catherine Russell's theories on documentary film/video. How and why does this film succeed as an example of anti-colonial film?
