"Documentary, after all, can tell lies; and it can tell lies because it lays claim to a form of veracity which fiction doesn't."
Dai Vaughn
A Documentary A Week
The basic goal here is to watch a documentary a week for one year. If time allows, I will write about it, but with a dissertation hanging over my head and a job search to do, the reviews most likely will have to wait.
