...This is how to make a documentary.
The Enfield Poltergeist, arguably, checks all the required boxes with regard to making a documentary.
There are no bombastic statements to be had here. Instead there is ample research into "a case". There is an eloquently balanced presentation of various facts and hypotheses where "all sides" are allowed to; not only present their views on a series of happenings but explain the rationale behind their conclusions.
For some documentaries the primary objective is to present a conclusion, for some it is to objectively present facts -so as to enable the viewer to form their own opinions.
The Enfield Poltergeist, most definitely falls into the latter - and it makes a stellar job of it. This is most refreshing in a time when documentaries of latter have had a tendency to present hypotheses as facts.
So there you have it, the story is told, the facts presented, now it's your prerogative to draw any conclusion you wish - and also respect anybody who's opinion may differ from yours.
