There was this incredible TV show in the French speaking world called “Strip-tease” it was like a documentary, but with no narrator nor journalist. You would just see the people live and talk. It was a lot of rural and small town stuff.
Of course, the act of being filmed is already a transformation on people's "real life". You're affecting it somehow, even without a person, there's a microphone and a camera, they're the "journalist".
