Re: What Documentaries Influenced You Most and Why?
by David Roth Weiss on Apr 27, 2008 at 11:10:17 pm

Darn you Brian, you had to remind me that I forgot about Connections. A big favorite of mine also.

Connections taught me that, beneath the skin of most good docos are detective stories wrapped in a journey. You simply keep moving, turning up clues for the audience one after the other, each moving them closer to the truth than the next. Audiences just love a thrilling journey that uncovers a big mystery in the end.

James Burke was a modern-day Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who also played the part of Sherlock Holmes.
