This book shows how interactive documentary appropriates digital technologies in order to find new methods of engaging with realities that often confront contemporary social concerns and the intricacies of truth.

Regardless, Martin-Jones' approach allows a formally and thematically diverse range of films to be discussed together. To describe this capacity for ethical encounters Martin-Jones turns to Gilles Deleuze's distinction between movement-image and time-image.
