Documentary Film<br />
! Las Hurdes uses documentary techniques to call into question the<br />
ethics <strong>of</strong> certain forms <strong>of</strong> documentary filmmaking that we as<br />
spectators tend to accept.!<br />
The film manipulates our perception <strong>of</strong> the Hurdanos with its narration. !<br />
! The expository style (evidentiary editing, voice-<strong>of</strong>-god) lends<br />
credibility to the notion that we are seeing an attempt to document a<br />
trip to a small mountain town. !<br />
! We are jarred from the story as the narrator begins to abuse this trust. !
