Do Documentaries Have to Be Boring? | Derek Waters & Amy Scott | SBUTV | #15

Today on Sam Brown University TV, we’re asking a question that should have an easy answer: Do documentaries have to be boring? Because let’s be honest; documentaries are either the most interesting thing you’ve ever seen… or something you turn off halfway through and never return to.

Sam Brown is joined by Derek Waters, creator of Drunk History, and Amy Scott, acclaimed documentary filmmaker. Together, they break down why documentaries get a bad reputation, give a thousand Letterboxd recommendations for ones that don’t suck, and expound on what makes a good one.

So get comfortable, as we do the opposite of Netflix and don’t make a you sit through two hours of slow drone footage to do it.
