On February 18, 1972, John Grierson, following a prolonged hospitalization at Forbes Fraser Hospital in Bath, UK, hovered unconscious on the precipice of surrendering to the relentless grasp of cancer. Now, the man who not too long before, in 1969, had said to his student Ronald Blumer, “I derive my authority from Moses, and I won’t be pushed aside,” wrote down on paper his counter-religious final proclamation: “Cremation,” “No reading of the burial service,” and last: “No memorial service.” John Grierson would pass away the following day, on Saturday, February 19, 1972. This chapter delves, for the sixth and final time in this trilogy, into Grierson’s definitional impetus as expressed in his 1972 interview with Elisabeth Sussex just before his death. Grierson needed, in whatever he was about to say to Sussex, proof that he and his team from the 1930s, most of them from Oxford and Cambridge, were approaching Documentary from a place deeply rooted within the most authentic aspects of society, and surely not “from above.” The chapter thoroughly critiques his historical analysis and then moves on to examine his life’s final statement concerning the question “What is Documentary?”—surprisingly dialoguing with the Italian neorealist Cezare Zavattini’s remarkable 1953 article “Some Ideas on the Cinema.”
