"In the golden age of documentary, who benefits?"

As a documentary maker, how do you deal with the subject of your documentary?

Filmmakers sometimes follow their subjects through the darkest or most traumatic periods of their lives. How do you deal with that as a filmmaker? And where is your responsibility?

Thanks to box office successes such as Bowling For Columbine (2002), March Of The Penguins (2005) and An Inconvenient Truth (2006) and the arrival of streaming services, documentaries are more popular than ever. But what impact does a (successful) documentary have on the people featured in it? Ultimately, the filmmaker determines what the story is and how it is told. The starting point is The Staircase, a dramatization of a true story about the death of Kathleen Peterson and the trial of his husband Michael, who was found guilty of first-degree murder in 2003. The makers also speak with the 'subjects' of, among others, Hoop Dreams (1994), Capturing The Friedmans (2003), The Square (2013) and The Wolfpack (2015). An absolute eye-opener that will make you look at the genre, and especially at true crime documentaries, with different eyes. Documentary enthusiasts should have their notebooks ready, because there are quite a few interesting titles!

Apart from 'The Staircase' I had seen the documentaries discussed and that certainly makes a difference.
