Call me cynical, but a documentary needs publicity to be successful. It seems to me this ethical dilemma gives just about the right amount of outrage for people to pay attention without it overly hurting the film maker's reputation.
Perhaps we'll see a mea culpa later on, where he will say he misjudged the amount of outrage, which is not a real apology, so lots of commenters will jump on that thereby providing even more publicity.
- Xplune13 5y agoI just don't like how people will go to any length just for "publicity". Creating an outrage for some publicity of a documentary just doesn't sit right with me. Yes, it is an effective step or publicity stunt, but how does people don't have that inner voice? (I don't know what to call it) that tells them that this isn't what they should be doing without proper consent of the family members and without any disclosure over what is real and what isn't.
