Documentary filmmaking as a social work tool can lead to great benefits for its protagonists, by triggering them a relief similar to the one experienced in psychotherapy. Moreover, their social case is able to reach a wide audience, contributing to raising public awareness that can improve the situation presented both for the main characters and their community. But the fact that a film will always have an audience that will transform it into a public spectacle could bring with it in some cases a set of dangers for its protagonists.
