Under these conditions, artists and activists aspire to document, archive, witness, and testify. The result is a set of practices that turn documentary media toward a commitment to feature and privilege the media made by the people living through the terror. This footage is then combined with new digitally archived images, stories, and testimonials to impact specific social and political situations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRadical Documentary and Global Crises\u003c\/i\u003e re-orients definitions of what a documentary is, how it functions, how it circulates, and how its effect is measured, arguing that militant evidence has the power to expose, to amass, and to adjudicate.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54219707351384,"sku":"9780253057990","price":74.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780253057990__676f21bfea82b.jpg?v=1741158234","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/radical-documentary-and-global-crises","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
