I don’t know about the rest of you, but documentaries are just not my thing. With out a doubt there is a market for them, but I have just never been a big fan. As we get ready for our next podcast, I’ve had to prepare myself for films that I am just not excited about.
The biggest question that I have about documentaries is what are they supposed to be? Stop and think about it. Recently, we have been bombarded with films that bash us over the head with an agenda. Now the question, I have is should filmakers be producing documentaries that are slanted or should they have more of a journalistic quality to them? What is or perhaps what should be the end goal of a documentary? Personally, I think that they should be journalistic. Give me the facts and then let me decide for myself. But don’t just give me the facts from people that agree with your opinion on the matter, again give me both sides and let me decide for myself.
What do you guys think?
