  abstract: "The journey of the book begins with a firm positioning of its major themes, situating the contemporary moment for independent documentary storytelling around the world. Chapter 1 provides the necessary foundation to explain the broad functions of documentary storytelling as a mechanism for social change - as a monitor, creatively artistic interpreter of events and issues, form of counternarrative that reveals realities often marginalized in broader news media systems, mobilizer of people and communities, and force that strengthens civil society in pursuit of social good and justice. This chapter introduces the chief questions and preoccupations of the book: what roles do independent documentary stories play around the world in a social justice context, against a backdrop of commercial media consolidation, technology platform dominance, and government repression? How do documentaries fight for justice and freedom of expression around the globe, alongside and bolstering the work of civil society? The first chapter provides a clear articulation of the book's major claims, and it sets up a roadmap overview of the full volume, chapter by chapter"--
