    Hi, I'm desperately searching for the famous film maker who made this statement:

    “The modern Documentary is a dead medium. It contributes little
    to nothing towards the argument on the human condition and
    while there are a number of people who are interested in making
    them, few are interested in watching them and even fewer are
    affected by them. What can a documentary say about our society
    that hasn’t already been said before? And these films are just
    manipulated by the bias of the film maker, we see the world
    through their eyes, therefore, there is no objectivity, there is no
    “truth”.

    If you have the name and/ or any information regarding it, I would love to hear it!

    Thanks! :)

    Agree. Whoever he is--he's wrong. Many issues need documented. Wonder how much this 'famous movie maker's' creations depict anything worthwhile.
