It's such an irony to watch this documentary and not realize it only exists because of the footage that was made during Dana's life. The obsession over her every move is still baffling to me. Why chase her in the most mundane places and occasions?! She's by the pool! So what?!? But the sadness that she was used by an institution at such a young age and not approximated by the ones she was seeking validation from is evident in this well put together work. No narration but archive historical footage and audio is used to peice together a 2hr summer of a figure that has affected the history of the world.
I do wonder if she lived how she would have been treated or if this story happened now how the public would treat her. Alas reality is she's not. It's amazing one lift, trusted under pressure has resulted in a figure that might not be matched in decades and centuries to come.
