Documentary subjects relive painful experiences in these early contenders.
“We had a great story but no footage shot inside the cave during the rescue,” Vasarhelyi and Chin say via email. “Those who were present are the only ones who knew what happened. As filmmakers, reenactments were always the intention, but we like to think of them more as demonstrations. The emotional weight and responsibility when you see someone binding a child’s hands behind their back and pushing their head under the water [to get them past tight, submerged areas] is unparalleled.
“What I found myself interested in is the idea of performance in documentary and what that means,” says Greene. “Somewhere along the way, I realized what I was interested in is how staging these scenes has this therapeutic quality. A lot of times, what we don’t realize as documentary filmmakers is that by putting a camera on someone as they’re telling their story, the presence of the camera, the presence of the film crew, is almost like giving a stage to issues that people need to work through.
It was actually the six survivors who suggested going back to the places they experienced their abuse to help combat their trauma, says Greene. “It’s genuinely inspirational. They were leading the way for us. It was our idea to start the process, but once it was off and running, they were the leaders. I feel like they are cultural leaders — these six men have shown us ways to cope.”
