Description: Bill Nichols, in Representing Reality (1991), tells us: Fiction harbours echoes of dreams and daydreams, sharing structures of fantasy with them, whereas documentary mimics the canons of expository argument, the making of the case, and the call to public rather than private response....If movies (fiction) “reflect” our culture, and if this mirror image is the fundamental, determining definition of cinema, then documentaries, too, must pass through this “defile” of a reflection.
