The first sustained critique of the mockumentary.

F Is for Phony: Fake Documentary and Truth¹s Undoing
Alexandra Juhasz and Jesse Lerner, editors
University of Minnesota Press | 244 pages | 2006
ISBN 0-8166-4250-8 | hardcover | $60.00
ISBN 0-8166-4251-6 | paperback | $20.00
Visible Evidence Series, volume 17

The essays in F Is for Phony discuss a broad scope of works and explore
issues raised by ³fake docs² such as the fiction/documentary divide, the
ethics of reality-based manipulation, and whether documentariness derives
from form or reception. Defining the borderline between fact and fiction,
the contributors reveal what fake documentaries imply and usually make
explicit: that many documentaries lie to tell the truth, and that the truth
is relative.
