If you are also considering documentary recording in general not just news reporting, then I'm sure that you have already looked at Mitch Block's film "No Lies," as well as cogent discussions of direct cinema/cinema verite filmmakers' treatments of victims of sexual assault, such as Vivian Sobchack's article on "No Lies," which was published in the Journal of Film and Video a number of years ago and also appears in Alan Rosenthals anthology on Documentary. While this film is "pseudo" verite, it raises a number of important issues concerning documentary ethics. I think that No Lies is also used as a point of discussion for victims of sexual assault, although it is a disturbing film that seems to victimize the viewer while re-victimizing the sexual assault victim. While I use this film regularly in my documentary film class to provoke a discussion of ethics and direct cinema/cinema verite, I always do so with a warning that viewers may find the film disturbing and that they may exit at any time they feel so inclined.
