Famous quotes containing the words documentary and/or feature:
“If you want to tell the untold stories, if you want to give voice to the voiceless, you’ve got to find a language. Which goes for film as well as prose, for documentary as well as autobiography. Use the wrong language, and you’re dumb and blind.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1948)
“With men he can be rational and unaffected, but when he has ladies to please, every feature works.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
