Dakumentary thoughts 02.04.2024

My favourite segment was the Election 2023 montage; overall, I think this is a final cut. Such a relief... it took me about a year to fashion this story from the found footage. - Chloe's ADHD segment really upset me. I still haven't forgiven myself for 2020, and it'd be fair to say that this documentary exists because of the guilt that I feel. I love how the referendum becomes this spectre that haunts the film, and that clip of Dakta talking to Anna Bracewell-Worrall added some gravitas. - I'll add some more later... still groggy from staying up -- I started watching the film around midnight on Sunday, and wrapped it up around 7pm on Monday.
