The popularity of documentary film has skyrocketed, on both the big and small screens. Films like Citizenfour (2015) and Weinstein (2017) as well as series such as Netflix’s Making a Murderer (2015) are simultaneously entertaining audiences and investigating serious issues like the government surveillance, sexual harassment, and wrongful conviction ––issues that in the past might have been covered exclusively in investigative journalism. What explains the public’s fascination with documentary? How is documentary film reacting to recent transformations in the media landscape? Where and how do documentary film and journalism intersect? The class culminates with a trip to the True/False Film Fest in Columbia, Missouri, the first weekend in March. Attendance at the festival is required.

Miller Visiting Artist in Residence Christopher Capoziello) Would you photograph someone putting a needle into their arm, shooting heroin? What about your twin brother on the floor in front of you, his body twisted and locked in a painful muscular spasm? A man with a gun saying he wants to “go shoot up some blacks?” Renown photojournalist Christopher Capozziello has photographed these subjects, and more – a woman with breast cancer living through chemotherapy and a double mastectomy; a group of American Nazis; an elderly woman slowly succumbing to dementia. Capozziello’s photographs have been exhibited nationally and internationally and have been published by Time, Newsweek, The New York Times Magazine, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, the Open Society Institute, AARP, Le Monde, MSNBC and many others. His debut monograph, “The Distance Between Us” (Edition Lammerhuber, 2013), focuses on his twin brother, Nick, who was born five minutes before Chris and has severe cerebral palsy. The book documents the twins’ complex relationship – their shared love and sense of hope, Nick’s struggle and perseverance as he lives with disability, and Chris’s inner struggle as he attempts to reconcile himself to his twin brother’s profoundly different life experience. From his position as a social and cultural documentarian, Capozziello will use his work as a foundation for the examination of issues of representation, inclusion, the creative process, and the history, practice and ethics of visual journalism and its role in contemporary society.
