In the 1960s, Direct Cinema challenged the relationship between recording media and reality, among other things through its use of new synchronization technology and the handheld 16mm camera. Today we are on another technical threshold that transforms the story. How can a contemporary documentary narrative be developed, reformulated in the democratic practices of the new media landscape?

abstract
The more they spit on me, the faster I flower We research whether the new technology is able to deepen the documentary narrative, and if so, how? Can we include more voices, tell other stories, and attract a wider audience? In northern Botkyrka there are million program areas, in the southern rural areas and it is a municipality with clear contradictions. Can the documentary process challenge the polarization of Botkyrka? The new technology takes you home to people in northern and southern Botkyrka where you get to experience everyday life in the suburb and attend festivities and ceremonies. Bird perspective with the camera on drones open eyes in this final report of a three-year project. Research made available with cardboard glasses and 360° video where you are. The constant renegotiation of roles and positions of power that the use of new technology entails opens up new opportunities, but also new risks. It gets a bit swaying, but in a good way! Ethical issues take place in this project during the idea work, on the set, and in the choice of platform and distribution format. But whose reality is portrayed? How? And by whom?
