About
Pioneering participatory, social change-oriented media, the program had a national and international impact on documentary film-making, yet this is the first comprehensive history and analysis of its work. The volume s contributors study dozens of films produced by the program, their themes, aesthetics, and politics, and evaluate their legacy and the program s place in Canadian, Qu b cois, and world cinema. An informative and nuanced look at a cinematic movement, Challenge for Change reemphasizes not just the importance of the NFB and its programs but also the role documentaries can play in improving the world.
