I don’t expect the documentary to show me footage of people being raped. Just a documentary made without ideology behind it. They could just show footage made at the festival and have some sort of off-screen narration from time to time (if they wish to have a message being sent by this film).
But here, when watching it, I just felt like someone wants to sell me an idea, and not facts. Like listening all the time to people who were saying it was **** (because you had mud next to your tent, or because the showers were not functioning, or because people got raped — and it’s all literally just shoved in together)

well, documentaries are supposed to be documents of the time; facts not fiction

So, expecting them to be accurate isn’t much of an expectation
