I found most people are not aware that documentaries have a scenario (screenplay). The author comes with the vision and what he wants to say before shooting any frame. I'd argue that the difference between a movie and a documentary is the documentary has a clear agenda (and that agenda is 99% of the time left wing for historical and structural reasons)
Why is always them wanting to "say something" rather than "learn something"? I'd love to watch the story of somebody genuinely trying to learn or understand something complex.
Yup, YT is where that content lives. One example is Matt Whitman's 10 Minute Bible Hour channel which has several episodes where he visits and learns from other denominations, and he genuinely is there to learn and share that experience.
