Documentary Making: Facing Criticism and Self-Reflection
The speaker reflects on a past documentary that was poorly received by the subject, leading to a strained relationship. Despite subsequent success in the industry, the speaker realizes their insincerity in advocating for documentary storytelling. Seeking feedback from the subject, the speaker learns that the documentary was perceived as overly focused on giving up rather than persevering, and not an accurate portrayal. The subject expresses that involving them in the process would have led to a more coherent and accurate depiction. The speaker grapples with the tension between revealing the truth that subjects may not see and ensuring an accurate portrayal, questioning whether telling only the stories the subjects already believe about themselves is akin to advertising or PR.
