The fake documentary

So today in media, since our assignment is to film a documentary we watched one in class. It was this crazy amazing document about how Peter Jackson found film reels in his old aunts shed and they were his relative who made the first colour film and recorded the first place flying which happened in New Zealand and built a Jerusalem like city to film a four hour epic but he was in trouble because he could not fund the movie and was in trouble with Russia. He also had many dramatic occurrences in his life. The love of his life fell in love with his brother, his brother was killed in war, the girl that he loved, who also starred in the film died in the last shot of the film along with her unborn child, he met a new woman who was interviewed in the documentary, he died helping someone who was shot in war and it was all recorded on film, he had to bury the rolls of film so they could be his and not the Russians, but it turns out none of it was true, none at all! That made the whole class crazy and it just goes to show that a good document is not necessarily a true one.
