The steady drumbeat of public criticism, negative media coverage, and unrelenting activism became known as the \"\u003cem\u003eBlackfish\u003c\/em\u003e Effect.\" In 2016, SeaWorld announced a stunning corporate policy change - the end of its profitable orca shows. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn an evolving networked era, social-issue documentaries like \u003cem\u003eBlackfish\u003c\/em\u003e are art for civic imagination and social critique. Today's documentaries interrogate topics like sexual assault in the U.S. military (\u003cem\u003eThe Invisible War\u003c\/em\u003e), racial injustice (\u003cem\u003e13th\u003c\/em\u003e), government surveillance (\u003cem\u003eCitizenfour\u003c\/em\u003e), and more. Artistic nonfiction films are changing public conversations, influencing media agendas, mobilizing communities, and capturing the attention of policymakers - accessed by expanding audiences in a transforming media marketplace. In \u003cem\u003eStory Movements: How Documentaries Empower People and Inspire Social Change\u003c\/em\u003e, producer and scholar Caty Borum Chattoo explores how documentaries disrupt dominant cultural narratives through complex, creative, often investigative storytelling. Featuring original interviews with award-winning documentary filmmakers and field leaders, the book reveals the influence and motivations behind the vibrant, eye-opening stories of the contemporary documentary age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaty Borum Chattoo\u003c\/strong\u003e is Executive Director of the Center for Media \u0026amp; Social Impact and Assistant Professor at the American University School of Communication.
