DOCUMENTARY & JOURNALISM DAY: COURTING CONTROVERSY
Documentaries that center on controversial subjects have their own set of difficulties to address – stories themselves are often taboo, truth may be harder to expose, and audiences may be hoping for the unexpected. Directors Matthew Heineman (Cartel Land), Alexandria Bombach (Frame by Frame), Juan Mejia Botero (Death By a Thousand Cuts) and producer Emre Izat (Naledi: A Baby Elephant’s Tale) discuss their experiences with tackling controversy in their work.Moderator, Eric Kohn (Indiewire). Co-presented by Vulcan Productions.
