SINGH, Siddiqa; GORDON-BATES, Dorian  and  ZIEGLER, Stefan. Cinematography, A Medium in International Studies - The Germination of a Documentary. Ñawi [online]. 2022, vol.6, n.1, pp.143-158. ISSN 2588-0934.  https://doi.org/10.37785/nw.v6n1.a7.

“The Genesis of a Documentary” is the opening article of a trilogy of articles applying research and analysis to a cyclical phenomenon, namely the germination of an idea to a film, to turn it into a cinematographic reality conscious of social impact. This study concerns itself with the position of the researchers and the researched, being part of the former. Retracing the epistemology of an ever-evolving idea, like a kaleidoscope, the article pieces together the memory of key informants to get to the germination of threads of notions, which become a solid reality manifesting itself over time to turn into a cultural expression: a documentary film. Three authors, one article, and voices from the past culminate in a refined picture of the genesis of BROKEN-the-film, an altruistic attempt to continue the implementation of International Law for those whose voices cannot be heard. This article is testimony to the creation of an advocacy tool.

Keywords : BROKEN-the-film; humanitarianism; Participative Action Research; stream of consciousness; the Researched; verstehen.
