From the publisher: Traces the fascinating story of one man's efforts to shape the documentary film into one of the most powerful and influential forms of expression. James Beveridge follows the distinguished career of John Grierson, a visionary who foresaw thirty years before McLuhan the effects of mass media on public opinion and who provided an atmosphere in which brilliant young filmmakers could flourish free from censorship and political manipulation. Communications activist and theorist, teacher, pioneer of the documentary film, founder of the National Film Board of Canada, maker of films and film-makers, Grierson was a thinker whose insights and ideas potently influenced the techniques and concepts of communication. .
