Abstract

The article discusses documentaries that reconnect people with history which entices them to actively engage with its changing politically motivated interpretations. It talks about films that reconstruct historical events and stand out for their vigilant application of filmmaking's imperative, that is, the freedom of honesty. The article cites three filmmakers and their works such as "The Fixer: The Taking of Ajmal Naqshbandi," directed by Ian Olds, "Sergio," directed by Greg Baker, and "Burma VJ," directed by Anders Østergaard.
