[55]Many other filmmakers strenuously differ. "Few in documentary were
as clear (and as legendary) as Stoney was about the importance of
people being in control of the media being made about them. In his
words: 'People should do their own filming, or at least feel they
control the content. I've spent much of my life making films about
teachers or preachers that these people ought to have made about
themselves." Faye Ginsburg, "The After-Life of Documentary: The
Impact of You Are on Indian Land," Abrash, p. 62

I am not "buying into" a filmmaker's personal mythification here;

of which the Park City screening was one element.
