Not different times, they're still at it



Yeah, you learn quickly in film school that documentaries edit footage however they like to tell a narrative. A lot of the incidents they describe happening in the wild are just multiple different situations clipped together, if you pay attention you'll notice some clips aren't even in the same place. There's even rumors recent footage of panicked animals were actually being caused by film crew drones, not anything happening naturally in the wild.


I think the "different times" was referring more to the animal cruelty than the choice to stage a scene.




Or edit a scene together in the studio.


My pet hate regarding this docudrama where stuff that is just made up is mixed with real things and there is no way a viewer can tell the different.

Not new of course, has always happened even in books - e.g. the "people told Columbus the world was flat" myth was made up to spice up a biography.
