Ever wonder what makes some documentaries hits while others languish on the shelf? This week's Humpday Highlight presents Ripping Reality - Creativity and the New Documentary, a panel featuring filmmakers who have recently crafted fresh and interesting projects in the field of documentary making.

Filmmakers Laura Poitras (The Oath), Michael Tucker (How to Fold a Flag), and Monteith McCollum (A Different Path) discuss with moderator Sean Farnel of Hot Docs what pulled their docs to the front of the pack in terms of critical acclaim and festival acceptance. All three showed their most recent docs at SXSW 2010.
