ODL Fellow Joshua Glick is currently working on a new monograph titled Scales of Influence: Documentary, Democracy, and Value of Reality. The project that examines how the post-1989 rise of neoliberalism and seismic shifts in the media industries galvanized an interest in documentary on both the left and right of the political spectrum. As documentary proliferated across new platforms and was put to use by a range of social movements, it came to occupy an increasingly contested space in the public sphere, ultimately transforming the relationship between Hollywood, Silicon Valley, and Washington D.C.
