They are not to my personal taste as a type of photography. I agree that a documentary represents a viewpoint and this one is a strongly expressed viewpoint. My point was not to dicuss the topic but to agree with Montie's comment that they are powerful story telling. I'm seeing a lot of posts from people on the topic but not discussion on the story telling. That's fine, it has pressed some buttons for people with what are clearly genuine opinions there. I don't think it's what Montie put forward as I see it.
