About This Book

This Much Is True is a landmark volume about the art of directing documentaries, with contributions from some of the most eminent documentary filmmakers working today, including Nick Broomfield, Andrew Jarecki, Kim Longinotto, Kevin Macdonald, James Marsh and Albert Maysles. Each chapter focuses on a particular element of the filmmaking process, and takes the form of an in-depth and highly personal conversation, presented in unvarnished documentary form. Taken as a whole, the book represents a uniquely candid and well-informed account of what it takes and what it means to make documentaries.

Exploring 
the 
world
Ultimately, 
documentaries 
can 
take 
people 
on 
a 
gripping, 
dramatic 
journey 
without 
travelling 
very 
far 
at 
all. 
The 
biggest 
journey 
we 
all 
make 
is 
between 
some 
sort 
of 
ignorance 
and 
some 
sort 
of 
realisation, 
whether 
it 
takes 
place 
in 
the 
suburbs 
of 
London 
or 
in 
the 
high 
plains 
of 
Chile 
– 
the 
location 
is 
academic. 
It’s 
not 
really 
the 
point. 
Each 
time 
we 
watch 
something 
that’s 
moving 
and 
true, 
we 
can 
learn 
something 
more 
about 
ourselves.
