( If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem... )
If these images are not shared and taken in for mental digestion then all the indiscretions of humankind will be buried and negated from affairs on the large list of issues that need to be dealt with collectively. The concern of the desensitisation of human emotion is a valid concern, albeit, it is the existence of such rare documentaries that change becomes palpable. Agreed, if we made hard-hitting documentary features all of the time then it would feel average. Shouting at the director/producer because you may be squeamish over the factual existence of animal torture as opposed to standing up and fighting for change via active involvement, makes you as culpable as the policy makers. Shock-treatment documentary making with plausible change advice is key to the enlightenment and the approach and tackle of human error. Good engineering practitioners always taught the young aspiring 'engineerlings', '...don't come to me with a problem, come to me with a solution.'
