The Documentary Film in World War II

Resum

The Second World War now lies half a century behind us in time. Thevictorious ending of the Cold War completed the 'unfinished business' aspects of theSecond World War, as a war against the challenge of totalitarianism whether of the rightor of the left, as well as has now put an historical epoch between us and World War 11.In every sense now, therefore, the Second World War is history. So is the Documentaryfilm. As a genre, the Documentary has indeed survived, and became, in an adapted form, a staple of television viewing.
