The film portrayed nicely the approach Nan Goldin has towards her activism ; through artistic expressions that always heavily connect with her life. She is consistently at the side of marginalized groups, filled with compassion and understanding, cementing their existence with her photography, making them public as they should while calling out those who wish for them to disappear. This made the all too familiar ''exposition of the artist's career'' used in this documentary actually worth telling in this way, as all her work expresses the overarching goal of civil liberties by the accountability of oppressive powers.
