IIRC there was a scene where Randi expressed anger at the fact he was being filmed, and claimed on previous occasions he wasn't aware he was being filmed.
My memory of the doc is a bit hazy though. Was he not upset that the doc served to out him as gay? IDK.
Anyway, did you ever see Weiner? There's a documentary maker who couldn't believe his luck. I saw it at the cinema, so his fall from grace was far from complete. Still a really compelling watch.

I don't think he was angry about that
as much as he was about his boyfriend being chucked out of the country for immigration offences.

Oh. I don't remember that bit at all. In fact, I think I was watching a different documentary called When Louis Theroux met Paul Daniels and the lovely Debbie McGee

It's a fascting docu...
...and James Randi is someone I hold in very high regard.
As I recall, his reticence was due to him feeling that it intruded too much on his personal life and shifted the focus from his life's work, but he eventually gave the film his blessing.

Lucky for you I don't understand what that last sentence is supposed to mean, so I'm just going to glare at you.
