I agree, though documentaries are presented as objective / fact finding films. And most viewers seem to share that belief.
Even the trailer for this film implies "look at how cooky / manipulative this woman is -- we're just showing her staring at Nathan"
> and most viewers seem to share that belief
Well that explains a lot about the doomerism and misinformation we regularly find on HN. If you don’t see the agenda being pushed or look into who is funding the documentary for just about every documentary in existence then you’re just not very intellectually honest. For example one of the vegan pushing ones on Netflix is straight up funded by/closely tied to for-profit artificial meat companies
Which one? Whichever it is, it would hardly be sponsored by the meat industry innit.
True, but not unique to HN. Even “inspired by a true story” films are taken at face value.
To paraphrase George Carlin, my agenda is truth, your truth is agenda.
