New Books Network: New Books in Sociology interview with Kathryn Millard— New Books Network: New Books in Sociology"This is an important contribution to the raging debate on ethics and truth in storytelling, both in film and scientific research; it sheds light on the true-crime film genre; it recovers lost film history; and it reveals the value of truly interdisciplinary research. An exceptional creative and scholarly achievement!"— Patricia Aufderheide, author of Documentary: A Very Short Introduction"A landmark work! The classic films that reported human behavior experiments selectively told one story but many more were possible. Why one and not another? Millard explains why the dominant stories won out with an insightful provocative mix of analysis and speculation."— Bill Nichols, author of Representing Reality: Issues and Concepts in Documentary"Kathryn Millard's book is one of the rare instances in film studies that acknowledges the history of the use of film in social psychological experiments. Millard's examination is also notable for referencing social psychology more broadly as an academic discipline that has been marginalized in the film studies literature as a result of the predominance of applications of psychoanalysis and cognitive psychology to film." — Projections
