Wow! Obviously this urinal-ist thinks all docuemntaries are about politics?
As much a liberal as Mike "The Large" Moore, Ken Burns tops my list of documentarians in this "epoch".
J. Cousteau, too. That (recently deceased) French cinematographer that worked for NatGeo puts together better stuff than MM.
Seriously true. Burns entertains, enlightens. The Civil War is, to me, quite frankly the finest of the genre.
Moore probably is the most financially successful documentarian in history, if you choose money as your criterion of success.

What I don't understand is why no one ever challenges the basic assumption that he IS a documentarian. I mean isn't there a difference between the "documentary" and "propaganda" genres? I can see that a film could be both. But doesn't it have to be factual? What percentage of "error" or "untruth" is permissable in a documentary?
