Hella Solutions blog: "Document. Share. Inspire."

Below is the start of a reading list on documentary (and not just film!) that I have read in the last year-and-a-half. I haven’t included everything I have read and so I will be adding to the list as I as I can and as I read and come across more. I hope this list will be helpful for anyone interested in documentary. Please feel free to comment and post any other resources you feel should be here by clicking on the “Comments” link directly below this post. You can put a link to this list on your blog or web site with a single link that will automatically update as I add entries by saving this link and posting it.
