Abstract
This chapter uses an interactive film as a case study to argue for list making as an alternative to stories for making interactive documentaries. It argues that lists are suited to network-specific media forms because lists are made up of discrete parts that can be easily arranged in multiple ways. This raises the problem of how makers and audiences might understand lists and the chapter details how this has been explored in the case study.
