Why it worked
Dodford took a niche internet cult figure and gave him the prestige treatment, using cinematic edits, archival gold, and underdog framing to make viewers root for someone they thought they already knew. His storytelling lens made Nardwuar feel legendary, not goofy. If you’re a creator, this proves you can turn overlooked figures into icons by pairing detailed research with emotional stakes.
