The World's 1000 Greatest Documentaries (In Progress)
As I have spent many hours (and still do), on this project. So are we going to have a quick look on the history of documentaries in this description - before I present the rules for the type of documentary’s that you find on this list. And the first thing that you have to know. That is that we have making documentaries since the beginning of the 1900's. And back then was we exploring every hidden areas of our world. So many movies from this time is from Asia & Africa. Where it´s (the directors), intention was to inform us (we in the west), about these countries. But unfortunately, so are they only a very romanticized view of this places. As in for example "Nanook of the North" (1922). However so is Robert Flaherty partially credited for the invention of the modern film structure. And has also been a big propaganda too. Yes Leni Riefenstahl's shameful film for the German Nazi Party is a really scary reminder of how strong influence you can made on people whit. And modern documentary’s (from 2010), are often (how less or how much we like), made from some specifik opinion. There schould thefore be no surprise to you - that many of the documentary’s that I have in this list are also ranked among The World’s Greatest. But let this be very clear. Every title in this project are ONLY the ones that I consider as The World's Greatest documentarie
