In 2014, Getting Real took the Center for Media & Social Impact’s study Dangerous Documentaries and kicked off an ongoing conversation about documentary journalism. At the time, we debated whether filmmakers were artists or journalists, and tried to parse the distinctions. Today, we understand all too well why accuracy, facts and fairness are hallmarks of nonfiction storytelling and sacrosanct in journalism. The point is more than philosophical, however, because journalists have special protections under the law. And regardless of how you identify, documentary filmmakers are obliged to follow local, state and federal laws. Come find out what’s at stake in the riveting case of IDA vs. Marco Williams as Williams gets deposed (in other words, grilled) on the spot. Chilling, insightful, and entertaining, it will encourage you to scrutinize your every move.
