Film board,All right, before you have a fit, consider: the credentials and/or qualifications to do a 'period piece' of an era in history for a documentary/cinema verite filmmaker are zilch/zero/nada. Just technique. Knowledge of history is not necessary or asked for. Such filmmakers are the furthest cry from a true historian. So, I ask, why are such films taken seriously and "learned" from?
