You have to remain open to the situation that you're filming otherwise you might miss the story.

Any documentary; any capturing of a non-fiction event, is a hyper-realistic condensation of reality that hopefully reveals an emotional truth. It's never the actual literal truth of an event.

The filmmaker is not telling you what to think.
