Dangerous Docs

Dangerous Docs is a masterclass with some of the most successful and high-profile filmmakers and presenters who regularly brave no-go areas.

This session looks at the challenges involved in shooting in hostile and unpredictable situations and raises a central question about where this kind of storytelling is heading and who does it best. Is the traditional news reporter increasingly penned-in by rules of military embedding and five minute packages, leaving doc makers who have the time, the budget, and the lure of an Oscar to seize the lead?

Is this kind of occasionally maverick journalism and documentary storytelling increasingly heading online, with the growth of sites like VICE? And how do our populist, entertainment-led broadcasters now engage with the violent world, if at all?
