And on every hand, in both the United States and England, there were demands for more ‘objectivity’. I was often asked, why hadn’t we gone to the other side, too, and made an objective film? my only answer was that a documentary film maker has to have an opinion on such vital issues as fascism or anti-fascism- he has to have feelings about these issues, if his work is to have any dramatic or emotional or art value.
