Fisk was profiled in Yung Chang's 2019 documentary film "This Is Not a Movie". In reviewing the film, "Slant Magazine" stated "The two things that give this documentary its power and provocativeness are intellectual rather than dramatic: Fisk’s work, and his ideas." For "The Guardian", the film asks its audience about war "Is there something deep in our souls that permits it because it feels natural? His painful, deeply serious question about the inevitability of war sets the tone of this documentary about his career, directed by Yung Chang."
