#documentaries

That's why I have always admired documentaries, because they open windows that can make you understand much better where you come from, much better than fiction, I think. ↗

I never wanted to be a film director but after this experience I really loved it. I would love to do more documentaries but it's difficult to find backing for them. ↗

I discovered the 7th art at home when I was kid, through Charlie Chaplin's movies and those of my father who shot documentaries. He was my biggest influence. So I took his camera and started shooting. ↗

There's been a vacuum with movies that people can relate to. There's been a paucity of dramas that people can relate to. I think audiences are clamoring to connect - particularly after 9/11 - with things that are genuine and real and I think documentaries are filling that need. ↗

I hope that not only my documentaries, but everybody's documentaries, last. It will really confuse historians in the next century, because they'll have, in addition to all the print material, they'll have all these pictures to look at. ↗

I think documentaries are the greatest way to educate an entire generation that doesn't often look back to learn anything about the history that provided a safe haven for so many of us today. ↗

Documentaries are the first line of education, and the second line of education is dramatization, such as 'The Pacific'. ↗
