Today, everyone can have their say and publish articles on any topic thanks to various video platforms, blogs and an increasing number of social media. But which of these statements can one believe, and attribute objective relevance to? Where is the border to polemics, conspiracy theories, and purely subjective narratives? In a video diary, a researcher explores her fascination with the making of a documentary film, providing deeper insight into the uncomfortable world of YouTube and online conspiracies that question traditional notions of what documentary cinema is or should be.
