Two examples of many. Two documentaries that achieved what law-enforcement, judges, courts, governments and crime-victims did not achieve. They are:
The Jinx
Sean Combs: The reckoning
The Jinx documents the story of New York Billionaire Robert Durst. He murdered his girlfriend. He murdered his neighbor and chopped up his body parts. He murdered his friend. Over several decades he walked free and law-enforcement failed to lock him up. Even when he admitted to killing and chopping up his neighbor, the court jury let him free!
Why the failure? Because evil elites have stacked the system with corrupt operatives and bribes.
Only after the documentary was made and published, fairly recently, Durst FINALLY got locked away, ending a decades long murder-spree. The film-maker found evidence that law-enforcement conveniently overlooked. Evidence in his handwriting showed that he killed his “friend”.
The film-maker also left on the microphone in one of his interviews of the Billionaire. After the interview was over, Robert Durst went to the restroom and started speaking to himself, as if he had a split personality or were possessed by a foreign entity. There, he incriminated himself. “Accidentally” leaving on a microphone has brought down many crooks.
People asked: Why didn’t the police do anything? Why does it take a film-maker to bring someone to justice? One of the reasons lies in the effects of mass public awareness. Many things don’t change or happen until a critical mass of people demand something be done. This is why documentary film making is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal.
Sean Combs: The reckoning was courageously made by the rapper 50 Cent after it became clear that the justice system would let off “P. Diddy” with a mere “time served” sentence, in effect letting him walk free.
The Documentary revealed evil beyond most people’s comprehension. Just like in the other documentary, privately shot footage was acquired – stuff the public wasn’t supposed to hear or see, where Sean Combs was incriminating himself.
The movie revealed that Combs extreme success began after an event he organized where nine people died as a result of a stampede. Shortly before that, he had himself filmed raping a girl and showed the film to friends, boasting of the event. The implication is that he performed these “ritual sacrifices” to gain fame and fortune. Subsequently his entire career was mired with rape and murder. The 1990s rappers Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls died at Sean Combs direction. Combs collaborated with street gangs to do the dirty work. Combs routinely made contracts with his “artists” that left them penniless. Combs financially betrayed the families of the deceased. Combs used violence and sexual abuse to keep employees and artists in check.
Once again the “system” had failed to bring a crook to justice. After the sham court proceedings it looked like he had “turned a new leaf” and could restart his career. But the documentary made sure that his career is done and over for good. He can now no longer walk the streets he grew up in.
How did 50 cent acquire the incriminating footage? It’s because Sean Combs didn’t pay the photographer who took the footage. Non-payment is one of his habitual patterns and it finally came back to bite him.
Ill-gained “success” always comes at the expense of happiness, nullifying any enjoyment of the supposed success. The documentary shows a deeply unhappy man. He was really a slave of people higher up on the ladder.
Even within a corrupted justice-system, film-making can and has been used for the good to deliver justice for humanity. Regular people simply telling the truth can change the world and will continue to for generations to come.
