DOCUMENTARY MAKERS POTENT PROVOCATEURS

Documentary Makers are working in a medium without boundaries – that reinvents itself, pushes the limits, uncovers the hidden, creates historical records where there are none, give a voice to those who have none, and tells stories that move us, shake us and provoke us.

What is it that drives the Documentary Maker? How do they find their subject? How does the story reveal itself? When successful, how do they get the story out there?
