This episode explores the transformative period of documentary filmmaking from the 1920s through the 1970s, examining how pioneers like John Grierson established documentary as both art and social commentary. We delve into the controversial legacy of Leni Riefenstahl's technically brilliant but morally problematic Nazi propaganda films, the revolutionary impact of cinéma vérité and direct cinema movements, and the work of influential filmmakers like Frederick Wiseman and the Maysles brothers. The episode traces how technological innovations enabled new forms of observational filmmaking while raising fundamental questions about ethics, objectivity, and the filmmaker's responsibility to their subjects. From landmark films like "Primary" and "Titicut Follies" to the emergence of documentary as commercial entertainment with "Woodstock," this comprehensive examination reveals how the golden age established the formal conventions and ethical frameworks that continue to shape documentary filmmaking today.
