I don’t know why I’m on a documentary kick right now. I don’t even like them that much. They annoy me because they are usually so selfish and overbearing. If there is an issue that you strongly believe in and you want to make a film about it in order to educate the world, fine, good luck changing thousands of years of human behavior with a ninety minute movie. It doesn’t even matter if you have a strong message and a good point, you just can’t expect magic from showing us some sad stories. We see terrible things every day and we barely even flinch. Documentary filmmakers may be trying to do some good, but they’ve got to know that they’re failing.
