What We Think

As documentaries go, The Story of Diana is refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards. It sticks to its subject, avoids shoehorning in modern identity politics, and offers a balanced recounting of a complex figure within her cultural context.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Story of Diana is mostly a traditional documentary about Princess Diana, focusing on her life, public image, and struggles. It appears to prioritize historical context and biographical detail rather than making identity factors the centerpiece. There’s little indication that narrative was sacrificed for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The documentary largely respects the royal family, traditional institutions, and discusses Diana’s humanitarian work without aggressively undermining religion, family, or tradition. While Diana was a reformer, the storytelling doesn’t seem to push modern ideological subversions overtly.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are presented through interviews, including critical voices about Diana and the royal family. There’s a focus on Diana’s empathy and activism, but not to the exclusion or mocking of more traditional figures or worldviews.
