Documentaries are pressured to conform to traditional storytelling structures for commercial success. However, some filmmakers argue that this approach limits the genre's potential. Embracing associative editing and unconventional narratives can lead to a deeper understanding of subjects rather than mere identification. Films like "Time," "Cameraperson," and "The Hottest August" exemplify this shift towards exploring the nuances of real life beyond conventional storytelling. While storytelling can be compelling, centering on empathy over solidarity may hinder the documentary's ability to provoke meaningful reflections on society.
