I hate the way it's filmed and edited, and the music and sounds used.
Some situations are obviously set up.
During an interview, in the middle of a sentence, we will suddenly see it from another camera, where you should see the previous camera in the picture now, but you don't. That means they did the same part several times from different angles. So the responses are rehearsed.
This is really the bottom of documentary.
I'll reiterate what I said to you in another thread.
So because they set up certain shots, it's fake? Sorry, but it's not. It's well produced, that's all. I know for a fact that quite often, depending on the country and security, Kemp travels with a sizeable crew, including 2 cameras, sound, producer, director, translator and security. Other times it's merely him, an interpreter, and camera man with an on board camera.
I used to work in this type of journalism as a camera man. I have been throughout Africa and Central America and have done stories on some really dangerous stuff. Admittedly, sometimes we have set up scenes but none of the information we're documenting is at all false, we just happened to have the time and people to set up shots for the sake of aesthetic appearance. This is especially useful when you're airing it on TV and syndicating around the world, like this show does. People aren't going to air something that looks like it was filmed on a cell phone, with one camera angle.
For example, while in Russia they travelled with a smaller crew as it's quite a safe country. Realistically speaking they wouldn't have run into any trouble with meeting all the Nazis, as they're of a different nationality. Russian journalists are, on the other hand, extremely oppressed in regards to freedom. Anyway, for this episode Kemp only had himself, director/camera operator, and translator with him. Where in other episodes he had a sizable crew with him as a "show of force". There are indeed certain areas you don't want to be without a good group of clearly foreign (usually white) reporters. People are less likely to try anything when there's 7+ people around. There are also places you want to be as discreet as possible. It all comes down to the situation; who you're meeting, where, why etc. Sometimes media intimidates people, but more often than not, it doesn't and people are glad to talk.

You guys need to get a girlfriend or a job or something. Why hate a person that makes good interviews? If you don't like his work, just don't watch it. Stop hatin, begin lovin!
