What makes you trust a documentary enough to recommend it to someone else?
I’ve noticed that a documentary can be beautifully made and still leave you questioning how much of what you just watched is actually solid.
When I’m looking at documentary work, including the kind of storytelling Janeson Films is involved in, the research and presentation side always interests me. A strong story is one thing, but accuracy can completely change how you receive it.
When you recommend a documentary, what do you usually look for first: the sources, the filmmaker’s approach, the subject matter, or how fairly different sides are presented?
