Documentaries only show us how things already are, they don't add another problem for us to worry about, even if it's only for 90 minutes.

FALSE.

Documentaries often give the impression of unbiased objective reality, especially well produced ones. The truth is that every piece of media, all of it, especially corporate media, and including this comment, has biases, agendas, and intent. Documentaries are essentially audio-visual essays that will spin the audience toward their predetermined destination.
