Abstract
This chapter critically assesses some of the claims that have been made about interactive documentary’s putatively special capacity to yield a variety of values – epistemic, ethical, and political – and to defend a moderately pessimistic view of interactive documentary’s ability to realise any of those values in a way that is superior to traditional, narrative documentary film. The chapter also rebuts the corollary claim that linear narrative – in documentary film and more generally -- is unable or ill-equipped to realise those values. The chapter closes on a more positive note by highlighting the various virtues narrative documentary can realise at its best.
