No longer empty hagiographies, docs like ‘Framing Britney’ and ‘Reclaiming Amy’ can change the way we think about pop culture. Elizabeth Aubrey charts the medium’s evolution and talks to the directors behind films following Taylor Swift, Bros and Nirvana

Lorna Clarke, controller at BBC Pop, who commissioned both documentaries, says the most successful films tend to tell a bigger story. “Often a story can be much more impactful by being about much more than music,” she explains, like the Bros documentary, whose themes of sibling rivalry, fame and family reconciliation – as well as their can’t-look-away personalities – gripped the nation. “It made the industry think again about how we make music documentaries,” Clarke says of the film.
