    Excellent conversation starter

    This is a very well needed film for the documentary industry. A moment of self reflection to hopefully allow filmmakers (I doubt that many 'subjects' will see this) to ask themselves key questions before embarking on a documentary.

    Told through the eyes of participants in a wide variety of high profile films, Camilla Hall and Jessica Tiexiera respectfully broach the subject of personal impact of a film on the interviewees lives.

    This is a film for filmmakers primarily. One that is very well needed. It does not offer answers, but asks very important questions that all documentary people - directors or commissioners - need to ask themselves.
