What I think is also true is that there's something about documentaries that are somewhat evergreen.

because people are being real.

And so documentaries tend to hold up.

You can watch a film from the 50s, and it could be quite funny because the people are behaving in ways that are recognisable, but strange at the same time.

And also the themes that I've taken on in my films, my documentaries, are very evergreen.

You're referring to a statement that was put out.

I don't think Trump appended his name to it, but it's on the US government website.

And it gives a racial identitarian...

gloss to the idea of European citizenship.

Maybe I have.

I've done versions of that.

You know, I feel like you're interviewing me, and the weird thing is I'm kind of enjoying it.

My other line on this is that this kind of disinformation or sort of incendiary and partial kind of take on the world that's explicitly racially charged, or in other contexts, because it's also to do with algorithms that are picking up a lot of highly charged sexual content.

You know, porn drives the internet to a great extent as well.

But when I started in the late 90s, this would arrive in your office, if you were doing research or in your home, in a brown paper envelope.

And now, of course, it's being pumped at a rates of megabytes per second or gigabytes per second into your phone, which explains, I think, a great deal.

Yeah.

We're in danger of agreeing too much.

Can we talk about Man Wolf?

Oh, yeah, sure.
