The questions

Despite trying to follow the script as we planned, we found that sometimes it can be pretty hard! People end up connecting on a personal level with us, they talk, they ask questions back, they engage in discussion and tell us about personal experiences. As an interviewer it would be rude to interrupt them and steer back the conversation exclusively on the areas we want to cover. Furthermore, it would make the interviewee unhappy and feeling like he is somehow acting a part. Therefore we succeeded at keeping the conversations between some set boundaries, but we had to 'relax' our script a little bit. We asked all the fundamental questions that we needed for the actual final documentary, but did not get too fussed about covering in detail every planned question. Those can be mostly found in the unedited versions of the interviews.
