Thats a very powerful thing.
For that to be put in a smaller box than it deserves is where the controversy comes from.
The major point to identify here is that we dont want our truth trivialized.
The label of comedy is often a trivial thing.
The real question is, what are you laughing at?
Are you laughing at the horror, the suffering?
Are you disregarding whats real about this project?
Thats why I said, yeah its a documentary.
