And yet documentarian Ed Perkins managed to find a novel way in: by turning the lens back on us. “The obvious truth is that Diana’s story is one of the most told and retold stories probably in the past 30 years,” Perkins said in an interview this week. “We only felt it was worth us adding to that conversation if we really felt like we had a new perspective to offer … [Read more...] about In ‘The Princess,’ a documentary on Diana flips the focus
