Why would the documentary be deceiving you? The documentary has no reason to deceive you. The document is just trying to reach out to you and connect with you as a person. Why would it be deceiving you? It has no reason to be deceiving you.

OP buries the lede.

The film is by Nathan Fielder, who specializes in fake situations and fake documentaries.

Any documentary (worth its salt) has a specific view it’s pushing that’s implicit to the stories told, the editing, etc.

The easiest demonstrative example is looking at someone like Leni Riefenstahl‘s work.

This has gotta be a reference to something, amirite? Do I need to watch the movie, or is it something from Nathan For You or somewhere else?
