I read Point of View:

"Not only does it give me a comprehensive guide of what is going on in the documentary world, it also consistently raises significant questions about documentary practice, theory and philosophy. That combination is rare, invaluable and inspiring. The quality of enquiry is excellent, and I always learn something new when I read it."
Jennifer Baichwal, Director, Act of God and Manufactured Landscapes
