In June 2012, Professor William Uricchio presented Re-thinking the Social Documentary at the Citizen Science Conference at Sweelinckzaal Utrecht University.
According to Uricchio,
It’s happening again. The documentary, long underappreciated for its transformational impact on film form, is again offering new ways of representing and intervening in the world. Only this time, rather than simply using new technologies to represent social change, the documentary form is itself the subject of social and technological change. Documentary marks the place where our representational endeavors come face-to-face with reality.
