Talking About It

A documentary can take many shapes, whether expository, investigative, or even pure entertainment. One of the most effective uses of the form, however, is as an avenue for the documentarian to bare their soul, to express themselves without holding back. In this way, the documentary can become an intimate portrait, a point of true emotional catharsis, or even a confessional. These films, though differing in style and the content of their stories, were all made with the intent of shedding light on the personal, whether that means hidden truths, repressed traumas, or even unspoken appreciation and love. To both heartwarming and heartbreaking effect, these courageous and insightful filmmakers have used documentary to uncover the hidden depths of both themselves and their subjects.
