DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Ken Loach → United Kingdom

His documentarian approach exposes systemic exploitation of working-class people, including performers and laborers, through compassionate realism.

Rainer Werner Fassbinder → Germany

His films unflinchingly depict the psychological and physical exploitation of actors and performers within power-imbalanced relationships and the entertainment industry.

Abbas Kiarostami → Iran

His meta-cinematic works question the ethics of filmmaking itself, revealing how directors can exploit performers and blur the line between documentary and performance.
