Global netizens have moved from the net and onto the streets in recent weeks to show their real support for the Anti western media. Thus the original idea for the documentary is not about revealing this now realized and much spoken about issue but what discourse the documentary is taking. I began with a rather solid idea with the non fiction, ethereal feeling film. Voiceover of many opinions over images. But since the issue is big and wide awake, I did feel somewhat responsible in telling this story as any other documentary would. But in that discourse I still find I want to tell it differently, still with images and voice over. Therefore broadcasters won't want it. The other option is the film festivals. It will look and feel more like fiction despite talking of issues that are culturally and economically of the moment and with consequences we not yet know. Many things may happen in the coming weeks and months, just as they have been rapidly forming over the net and into reality. Its tough to get my head around as I need to de evolving this documentary to a point of sorts. A question, an offer of theory, a possibility of actions... It will in the end, I feel, I want to reveal a web of ideas that are correlated. It has to be a film with a different approach and discource to most.
