Documentary. A genre where objectivity is an expectation. Dream on. In the real world it's as rare as an independent blockbuster. Sometimes it happens, but mostly it reflects a certain point of view.

The Docu filmmaker is just human ater all. He/she has a certain background, a world view, an opinion. For example: Michael Moore (Fahrenheit 911, Sicko) or, today’s docu-drama produer Andrey Nekrasov, the maker of Rebellion: The Litvinenko Case. When the director is playing in his own film, the element of humanity is raised to another level. Nekrasov has his short testimony at the beginning of his film -- let everyone see the film, and draw his or her conclusions.

After last time's poor viewing quality, but shockingly good Russian experience, today's movie, Rebellion, still from Russia, came in a pitch-perfect quality. No breaks, not even a single error in the picture. Nothing to pull me out from a maze of events and thoughts described grippingly with a dominating amount of dialog and a few powerful images meant for effect.

In the dark of my room it was a bit hard not to think on this whole documentary thing in general. Anyway, the case is about Alexander Litvinenko, you might know him from the news, an ex-FSB agent (the new KGB) who was poisoned with polonium last year in London. He soon died, and thus added a sad chapter to contract killing and nuclear terrorism as well. His open speech of FSB methods, the Chechen war, and even the circles of Russian president Vladimir Putin are the suspected causes of his demise.

Convincing is the best word to describe it. But should a documentary convince, or just inform you? In the case of nature films it's a bit easier, but even there lies some propaganda -- if you focus on the animal called Man, the situation gets messy. As the old saying goes: History is written by the victors.

Luckily today there are many platforms to write on, some are less and some are more free. The On-Line theatre is a perfect example. One of the few really great inventions of our age.

A few thoughts crystalize in my mind from Day Zero. Documentary filmmaker Bojana Papp shared them after stumbling in at the middle of a conversation. Perhaps she was the only one absolutely positive about this format, and she had the most rooted in-ground pov, basically: Docus' main goal is accessibility, at every cost.

Even if we think less dramatically, just like Miss Papp: the Internet is an excellent method to get to almost everyone. But herein lies a dilemma. YouTube anyone? Why would someone pay for renting a documentary when so much similar content can be accessed free on that Tube of You? Another fine thought of hers, that I can only agree with.

Well, it's up to them/us to figure that out.
