Another theme I've been following is the convergence of documentary sensibilities with American popular culture. We see documentary styles and techniques being copied in the most popular feature films -- see Slum Dog Millionaire -- and also being widely used now in advertising. Reality tv -- first person testimonials -- it's all about authenticity -- or a sense of authenticity -- be it true or not.
check out IBM's Documentary project for some great short web documentaries on a range of subjects. From Harley Davidson Motorcycles to the NYPD's Real Time Crime Center to China's Forbidden City.
