A rare look at Spike Leersquo;s creative appropriation of the documentary film genre.In this groundbreaking book; Delphine Letort sheds light on a neglected part of Spike Leersquo;s filmmaking by offering a rare look at his creative engagement with the genre of documentary filmmaking. Ranging from history to sports and music; Lee has tackled a diversity of topics in such nonfiction films as 4 Little Girls; A Huey P. Newton Story; Jim Brown: All-American; and When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts. Letort analyzes the narrative and aesthetic discourses that structure these films and calls attention to Leersquo;s technical skills and narrative-framing devices. Drawing on film and media studies; African American studies; and cultural theories; she examines the sociological value of Leersquo;s investigations into contemporary culture and also explores the ethics of his commitment to a genre characterized by its claim to truth.Delphine Letort is Associate Professor of English at the Universiteacute; du Maine in Le Mans; France.
