DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Dziga Vertov Soviet Union

Pioneer of the Kino-Pravda newsreel and 'Man with a Movie Camera,' he explicitly used documentary form as a tool for communist propaganda and revolutionary cinema theory.

 Jia Zhangke China

His works critically examine state propaganda and documentary realism, deconstructing how official narratives shape contemporary Chinese society.
