Confessions of a Bartender

http://www.vice.com/en_uk/video/confessions-of-a-bartender-001

In this video this man is represented as subjective however he believes that what he said is true and that he needs to shed a light upon the truth of the stereotypes regarding business in the alcohol industry. He is an anonymous speaker therefore assuming he has nothing to hide thus exposing the secrets and unafraid of how he presents his opinions show us a sense of accuracy towards this documentary. Throughout the documentary he gives a real life issues that happened at a bar such as a man punching him for trying to break up a fight and such which shows that the majority of the documentary is based on subjectivity. In terms of the posture and over formality of the interview, the interviewee was very straight forward in what he wanted to say, this could be due to the anonymity of the subject but this itself could serve as a distinction in which he is speaking the truth. The interview did not refrain from using vulgar language, this again shows that it is a genuine interview and the interviewee is speaking whats on his mind. In terms of of the content, it engages the audience through which they way he verbally describes out his experiences with the night life giving a visual scenario upon the matter.

In this documentary it is seen as balanced and impartial which is what it has to follow by because it is factual news of a sensitive topic. The interviewer travels to the actual location of where ISIS is which was freed 10 days ago and interviews people who were there at the scene shows accuracy. After visiting the location and gaining knowledge of what took place, e.g properganda of the punishments they would use against people who disobeyed, the interviewer visited the location of the base of international fighters who are fighting against ISIS and askes for their personal opinions on the topic and why they chose to risk their lives. The interviewer for multiple days lived with these soldiers which placed him with the same food and lifestyle they lived which allows the interviewer to understand what exactly was happening and understand if not slightly how the fighters were feeling, most of the fighters had family abroad son, daughters, mothers but interviewing them told us that they felt what they did is right which shows their own opinions, a particular soldier said they did not want to join the fight against ISIS but he had to.
