Last year, documentaries like Fahrenheit 911 and Supersize Me blazed on marquees throughout America. Despite their antiestablishment and anti-business motifs, they use humor and multimedia technology to present the serious subject matter. They raked in over US $ 100 million in revenue. Today, many major US cities boast cinemas dedicated to showing documentaries.
去年在美國造成轟動的紀錄片《華氏 911》與《麥胖報告》等，雖然是反體制、反商業的嚴肅題材，卻用幽默與多媒體方式呈現，在美國創造上億美元票房，如今美國各大都市都有專門放映紀錄片的電影院。
