New Documentary: A Critical Introduction provides a comprehensive account of the last two decades of documentary filmmaking in Britain, the US and Europe. Stella Bruzzi's engaging textbook discusses key genres, filmmakers, and issues for the study of non-fiction film and television, including: * key texts such as the Zapruder film of Kennedy's assassination, Shoah, Hoop Dreams and Michael Apted's 7 Up series * documentary genres, from current affairs programming to 'fly on the wall' documentaries to 'reality tv' series * the work of documentary filmmakers such as Emile de Antonio, Fred Wiseman, Nick Broomfield, Molly Dineen and Paul Watson * the work of avant-garde filmmakers such as Chris Marker, Patrick Keiller, Peter Greenaway and Wim Wenders, whose films challenge conventions of documentary filmmaking * movies based on historical events, such as 'JFK' and 'Nixon' * faux documentaries such as This is Spinal Tap, Bob Roberts and Man Bites Dog * gender identity, queer theory, performance, 'race' and spectatorship. Bruzzi shows how theories of documentary filmmaking can be applied to contemporary texts and genres, and discusses the relationship between recent, innovative examples of the genre and the more established canon of documentary.

A cancer diagnosis can be shocking and overwhelming, to say the least. But what happens when a husband and wife are both diagnosed with cancers that typically have poor prognoses? Richard and Robin Johnson were the pastors of a rural Colorado church where they were both diagnosed with cancers that would change their lives forever.

We can fall prey to fear, worry and defeat, or we can look to the Lord to help us, to strengthen us, and to become what He desires us to be in the midst of every situation. Through the Valley will encourage you to trust God and live victoriously in whatever you may be going through in this life, for when Jesus is all we have, Jesus is all we need!
