What's the last documentary scene that actually unsettled you?
I've been thinking about how we judge 'effective' vs 'exploitative' when we're in the edit. There's a fine line between showing truth and using it. Curious how others draw that line, whether you make docs or just watch them.

That shipbreaker doc in Bangladesh—the scene where they're cutting through a tanker hull with nothing but hand tools and torches. The danger wasn't dramatized, just there in the frame. Effective because it trusts you to see the weight without being told.
