Portfolio company Newsflare recently published an article on the growing influence of User-Generated Content (UGC) in documentary filmmaking. The article explores how UGC is increasingly shaping the way we tell real-life stories. From raw, authentic footage to powerful perspectives that would otherwise go unnoticed, this piece dives deep into how filmmakers are using UGC to craft compelling narratives. By leveraging content from smartphones, drones, and personal devices, documentaries gain authenticity, expanding the scope of storytelling and democratising the creative process.
