How do How to Survive a Plague and a Film Unfinished use archival footage to tell a more complete version of history? Moreover, while both films are mostly comprised of archival footage of historical events (as opposed to interviews), what is the role of the camera operator as a historical witness? And how does this scenario change the role of the director or editor for these types of documentaries?

Although not required, please feel free to make comparisons to previous documentaries from the course as well.
