...like we do, or only watch documentaries.

There's lots that must take place in the realm of poetic license when making a film. Time demands, financial demands, other demands.

It isn't that filmmnakers are keen on 'fooling' viewers, or plant erroneous details on purpose...it's a m o v i e; it's a s t o r y.
