Our narrator: a male voice because it holds more authority, plus the subjects of the doc were mostly male. Very serious and monotonous tone. A narrator that is distanced from the events – a simple observer, an interviewer.

Space and Time: It would sound as if the narrator was there – an interviewer. Would be present all scenes with commentary.

Content :  He isn’t speaking for anyone, if only the curious audience. He would have a conversation with the audience and bring up questions. He would summarize what people were trying to say and adding important context. Right after the residents of the amtrak : “The residents have voiced their resentment against the eviction, but the Amtrak office feels that they have reason to take that action” go to office.

Audience: We have decided that narrator is not serving anyone but instead is the eyes and ears for the audience, thus giving audience info and letting them do with it what they like.  It is easier for the audience to distance themselves emotionally. It allows people to still connect with the doc but still gives them space to hold their own position.
