Sommario/riassunto

"Patty Zimmermann brilliantly exposes the systematic political attack and destruction of public monies and spaces required for independent film and documentary to flourish. She compels us to take seriously 'the states of emergency' created by present-day wars on memory, history, and democracy. This book is passionate, unrelenting, and superbly written. It is a necessary step in reclaiming the imaginings for a democratic media."-Zillah Eisenstein, author of Global Obscenities: Patriarchy, Capitalism, and the Lure of Cyberfantasy
