The entertainment industry documentary is not a new invention, but its form and purpose have evolved dramatically over the last century. Early 20th-century cinema saw documentary sub-genres emerge, including cultural and industrial films that often served as promotional tools for businesses. These early works were less about critique and more about showcasing corporate or national achievements.
The genre of the entertainment industry documentary has evolved from simple promotional tools into a powerful medium for investigative journalism. The Promotional Era The Cost of Child Stardom
The most fertile ground for this new genre has been the music industry, which has perfected the "misery memoir" documentary. Films like Amy (2015) and Montage of Heck (2015) follow a brutal template: archival footage of a precocious child, rapid ascent, drug use, isolation, and a tragic denouement. Audiences consume these films with a mixture of voyeuristic thrill and pseudo-therapeutic grief. The entertainment industry has learned to capitalize on the death of its stars more effectively than on their lives.
