WATCHING documentaries is one of the important stages in documentary-learning.
One of my favorite documentaries is Capturing the Friedmans. It is really amazing and attractive because it is distinctive from the rest of the documentaries in the market. Capturing the Friedmans utilized archival footage and news to present the reality - a truth and genuineness that other people (especially those who were involved in the case) can not see from the surface, a broken family, devastated hearts and ultimately, joyful reunion. It plays well with audiences' mind, making you believe that Friedmans are terrible people in the beginning. It then gradually create sense of sympathy, doubt and confusion in viewers. When I first watch the film, I can't help thinking about it all day. So provocative yet stimulating!
