"Telling Migrant Stories: Latin American Diaspora in Documentary Film" is a book edited by Esteban E. Loustaunau and Lauren E. Shaw that explores the representation of Latin American migrant experiences in documentary films. The book is divided into four parts, each focusing on different aspects of the migrant experience. The authors argue that documentaries have the power to give voice to marginalized individuals and challenge oversimplified narratives perpetuated by mainstream media. However, the book's emphasis on the affective quality of film and its criticism of corporate media may be outdated in the current era of fake news. Overall, the book provides valuable insights for aspiring documentary filmmakers and highlights the importance of giving migrants a platform to share their stories. [Extracted from the article] |
