Ryan White

Ryan White is the kind of documentarian I keep an eye on because his range is matched by his empathy. From the unsettling investigation of The Keepers to the tender Pamela, a Love Story and the unexpectedly moving Good Night Oppy, which swept five Critics Choice Awards, he gravitates toward subjects others might mishandle. What impresses me is his restraint: he lets people and truth breathe rather than imposing flashy authorship. Making audiences cry over a Mars rover is no small feat of storytelling. In a crowded nonfiction landscape, White's quiet, humane eye marks him as a director worth following.
