I am schocked there hasn't been a shockumentary about the shockumentary before.
There is the classic book, Sweet and Savage, that is a good overview of the genre. It was originally published in the mid-80's, but has been updated since then. But I don't think I've ever seen a movie that's tackled the subject. And that surprises me. There's so much area to cover, from the history of the documentary as a whole, to Disney unwittingly setting the stage with the whole faking the lemming suicides and convincing us all that that was all real and Nat Geo with their no-intervention, keep the cameras rolling policy, to the evolution of the genre from the anthropological studies of Mondo Cane and Women of the World to the true gore stuff like Faces of Death, Traces of Death, Executions, Banned From Television, and Junk Films, to the influence on Gonzo/New Journalism, to the influence on Found Footage horror, to Errol Morris bringing the reenactment tactic to "legit" documentaries in The Thin Blue Line, to reality TV (especially stuff like Cops and Trauma: Life in the ER) basically being it's direct continuation, up to the rise of LiveLeak and the narrative free gore compilations like MDPOPE.
@iamcinema You don't no of anything i that, do you
