Story summary
- France contributes three of the top 25 documentaries, all focusing on World War II.
- Directors Agnès Varda, Werner Herzog, Jonathan Demme, Sarah Polley and Frederick Wiseman (who has two titles) provide the personal visions that define the list, with Wiseman calling his work ‘reality fictions.’
- Nearly half the titles spotlight obscure subjects such as Rust-Belt skateboarders, Chicago high-school basketball players and 1980s New York drag queens.
