“As a documentarian I happily place by fate and faith in reality. It is my caretaker, the provider of subjects themes, experiences — all endowed with the power of truth and the romance of discovery. And the closer I adhere to reality the more honest and authentic my tales. After all, the knowledge of the real world is exactly what we need to better understand and therefore possibly love another. It’s my way of making the world a better place.”  Albert Maysles
