What ethical issues might you encounter when making documentaries? The reports and videos on this page discuss ethical issues that arise as the documentarian develops a relationship with her/his subjects, and with her/his audience.
An excerpt from the 2010 Media that Matters Conference: "The Center for Social Media Director Pat Aufderheide discusses the findings of their report, Honest Truths: Documentary Filmmakers on Ethical Challenges in their Work, and leads the audience in a discussion about how they would handle different but common ethical situations that arise in documentary filmmaking" (54:47).
