During the first decade of the twenty-first century, a stunning array of documentary films focusing on environmental issues, representing the world on the brink of ecological catastrophe, has been met with critical and popular acclaim. This cohesive and accessible volume is the first book-length study of environmental documentary filmmaking, offering a coherent analysis of controversial and high-profile documentary films such as "Gasland," "An Inconvenient Truth," "Manufactured Landscapes," and "The Cove." With analysis that includes the wider context of environmental documentary filmmaking, such as "Modern Life "and "Sleep Furiously," about local rural communities in Britain and Europe, "Green Documentary" also contributes to the ongoing debate on representing the crisis.
