Abstract
I argue that the new form video essay, may offer media literacy access routes to higher education institutions for the under privileged and public history potential for the under-represented in society. I discuss how objectivity functions as an interdisciplinary, blurred yet dominant concept in documentary practice that transforms to fit the academic backgrounds, interests, and critical orientations of its authors. I provide an experiential and scholarly critique regarding the organising and liberating potential of the video essay to challenge dominant representational power relationships using documentary conventions in explicit and implicit ways which promotes the positive aspect of bias in the new video essay form.
