From Rodney King to Osama bin Laden, Handicams aren't just for weddings and family vacations anymore. Seeing is Believing is an unprecedented exploration into the political and social uses of handicams and new communications technologies.
Human rights activists, war crimes investigators, right-wing videographers and ordinary citizens are arming themselves with the tools of the new visual revolution. Seeing is Believing provides a dramatic window into the power of do-it-yourself filmmaking and addresses essential questions about the authority of mainstream media, what constitutes access, and who owns the truth.
"Seeing is Believing navigates the fast-moving waters of the modern media age with the skilled touch of an ace paddler." - Vancouver Sun
