It would be a kind of journalism where the camera would be behind the scenes and not have to rely on a narrator to tell the story. That precipitated a whole revolution in making documentaries. It still hasn't filtered down to news reporting, which is still an illustrated lecture. The advance was to get to life in such a direct way that when you saw the film you could judge for yourself. --Albert Maysles
