"John Marshall's lively and forthright style makes gripping reading, reflecting his own personal character. Marshall presents his heartfelt methodology for making anthropologically and socially meaningful films, and the book offers a unique and multidimensional view of the work of a pioneering filmmaker." -- Allison Jablonko of Mills College, Oakland, California"This book demonstrates powerfully that documentary film is a major component of contemporary ethnography." -- Paul Stoller of School of American Research and West Chester State University, Pennsylvania
