Even when documentaries are derived from news reports, they are not bound to tell the story while it s still "news." Instead, they take the time to consider events and put them in more detailed and often layered context.

Right. That was a play on a lot of different things. Here s the guy who played Hunter [in the dramatic feature Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas], now reading Hunter. It also signaled to people in a very simple and clear way—because clarity is another thing that I m kind of a nut about—that all the narration you hear from now on will be the undependable narrator of Hunter Thompson, as read by Johnny Depp.
