The Do Gooders is a fascinating dive into a complex legacy. Filmmaker Chloe Ruthven, grappling with her family's history of aid work in Palestine, offers a personal lens on a subject often clouded by political tension. The pacing is contemplative, giving viewers space to reflect on the emotional weight of her grandparents' experiences. There's a rawness to the film, as Ruthven navigates her inherited history with honesty. The practical effects are minimal, relying instead on archival footage and interviews that pull you into the narrative. It’s distinctive for its intimate approach, letting the personal stories unfold amidst the broader socio-political landscape. A thought-provoking watch, for sure, albeit not for those seeking a conventional documentary format.
