David Maysles (1931–1987), Albert Maysles (1926–2007), Charlotte Zwerin (1931–2004). They are credited with influential cinéma vérité documentaries such as Salesman, Gimme Shelter, and Grey Gardens.

Confaloni's review treats Gimme Shelter as perhaps the best film about rock, documenting the Rolling Stones' 1969 U.S. tour and the Altamont tragedy. The review emphasizes the chaos at the festival, the Hells Angels' role in security, and the murder of Meredith Hunter. It reads the film as a decisive end to 1960s libertarian utopianism.
