This collection examines how filmmakers have tried to change the world by engaging in emancipatory politics in their work, and how audiences have received them. It presents a wide spectrum of case studies, covering both film and digital technology. Discussions range from the classic Marxist cinema of Aleksandr Medvedkin and Jean-Luc Godard, to recent media and the phenomena of video-blogging.
