The site Documentary Diva is a personal blog site about documentary films by a documentary film historian and was the Executive Director of the International Documentary Association for eight years. She also serves in many other areas of documentary filmmaking and viewing. She clearly is passionate about documentary films, and with her contacts in the industry, she has access to many filmmakers and directors that most people would not.
             The site not only contains her reviews of documentary films, it also includes bios and information on filmmakers, and her reviews of attendance at worldwide film events. It also contains book reviews of books that deal with documentary films and filmmaking. This site is very comprehensive, and unlike most blogging sites, it is very professional and even academic. It is a good source for information on documentary films, and the author's credentials give credence to her views and reviews. In addition, the site contains news and links to other good documentary sites online, so it is a good resource for research and learning more about documentary films.
             I learned that people can be very passionate about documentary films, as this author clearly is, and that documentary films are finding their way into areas like Second Life, the online role-playing game that is so popular right now. I also learned that all blogs are not created equal. While most of them are written by people who might or might not be experts in their fields, and contain mostly personal opinions, they can be credible sources of research and information when they are written by experts like this author. I would use this site as a resource for documentary film studies, and I would return her just because the site is interesting, informative, and still entertaining.
