    The guy was crazy for appearing in the documentary without a mask in the first place.

    Did he really think the empire trying to subjugate his people was going to protect him once he outlived his usefulness?

      Maybe the empire that invaded his country should have done more to protect him once he outlived their usefulness.

      Did the film makers advised him to wear a mask and did he actively decide not to?

      Otherwise, I tend to blame the film makers still, at least partly.
