Providing in-depth accounts and close critical examinations of nine of Wiseman’s films―Titicut Follies, High School, Basic Training, Essene, Juvenile Court, Primate, Welfare, Canal Zone, and The Store―thissecond edition features a new introduction, a revised and updated filmography, and an updated bibliography.
No book on documentary film has ever analyzed in such detail the work of a single filmmaker. In impeccable close readings of his films, Tom Benson and Carolyn Anderson explore how Frederick Wiseman has elaborated his widely admired sensibility.
A special feature is an extended chapter on the legal difficulties encountered by Wiseman’s first documentary, Titicut Follies, an unflinching depiction of conditions in the Massachusetts Correctional Institution at Bridgewater. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts took Wiseman to court, seeking to prevent the exhibition of Titicut Follies. In New York State, three judges refused to issue an injunction against the film. In Massachusetts, the film was the subject of a sensational series of legislative hearings and a court trial, in which the principals gave very different stories of the conditions and terms under which the film had been negotiated and produced.
Wiseman, himself an attorney, exchanged charges and countercharges with Massachusetts Attorney General Elliot Richardson, and the controversy split the civil liberties community. Judge Harry Kalus, calling Titicut Follies "a nightmare of ghoulish obscenities," not only ruled for the Commonwealth but ordered that the film be destroyed. On appeal, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court modified the Kalus ruling, allowing the film to be seen only by professional audiences. Titicut Follies became the only American film whose exhibition is restricted for reasons other than obscenity or national security.
After Titicut Follies, Wiseman went on to become a major independent documentary producer. Many of his films have been shown on public television in the United States and at film festivals around the world. The films are widely admired and often highly controversial. Wiseman has developed a unique cinematic rhetoric that draws from both the documentary and fiction traditions to describe American institutions: a high school, basic training, a monastery, a juvenile court, a primate research center, a welfare agency, the Panama canal zone, and a department store. Benson and Anderson scrutinize each of these films, record the reactions of some of his subjects and audiences, and present the heretofore neglected contributions of his four cinematographers: John Marshall, Richard Leiterman, William Brayne, and John Davey.

“The Evolutionary Testament of Co-Creation: The Promise Will Be Kept offers an exciting means for experiencing Jesus in the 21st century. Rev. Jerry Farrell and Carolyn Anderson’s outstanding supplementary workbook,Keeping The Promise, will guide your efforts to fulfill God’s promise in your own life.” — BARBARA MARX HUBBARD, author of The Evolutionary Testament of Co-Creation: The Promise Will Be Kept _________________________ This beautifully crafted guidebook encourages readers of Barbara Marx Hubbard’s groundbreaking material to expand and deep- en their exploration of the original source text through a comprehensive, self-guided seven-week study program. The study program, which can be pursued alone or in a group setting, explains how to form a local study group (or evolutionary pod) of interested individuals. It also contains in-depth information about how to establish sacred space for meetings, how to communicate with greater integrity within a group setting, and how to perform sacred ceremonies and rituals that can support more intimate spiritual communion. Each weekly study chapter has been formed around a unique intention, or theme, and includes a personal message from Barbara Marx Hubbard. The guidebook authors then draw upon select passages from the source text and invite the participants to connect more deeply with the chosen material by posing a set of questions that have been specifically designed to encourage greater self-reflection and promote spiritual self-transformation. The guidebook also offers a more extended study course for those groups and individuals who, after completing the seven-week course, wish to continue on their journey of self-transformation.
