Is winning an Oscar or being a mainstream hit the threshold for Netflix carrying a documentary?
Anyone can look at the catalog and see that's obviously not the case.
Setting the goal posts there while ignoring the obvious politics around the situation is simply naive.
- slg 6y agoHow many of those documentaries on Netflix are exclusive to that platform, debuted on that platform, are popular Sundance movies, and from an Oscar winning filmmaker that wants to charge $20 for renting the movie? It isn't like there is a set price for every documentary. This movie was always going to come with a relatively big price tag compared to its financial viability. I am not ignoring the politics of the situation. I simply said I don't know if the tale told in the article is believable because there are valid non-political reasons that seem to do a better job explaining what transpired.
