documentaries are non-fiction films. they are directed by people with points of view, yes. that’s why some of them seem like agitprop while others are a snooze-fest. i’ve watched thousands of hours of documentaries in my career and the ones that are the most compelling are the ones that stir up debate. in my mind, it doesn’t matter if you agree or disagree with the fima#lkers&m8230; if a documentary leaves you indifferent, i think it’s a failure. bravo to sheila nevins for continuing to be controversial
