Honest Truths: Documentary Filmmakers on Ethical Challenges to Their Work, by Patricia Aufderheide, Peter Jaszi, and Mridu Chandra, American University Center for Social Media, 2009
Not really a book, but a terrific report that I'm proud to have served as an advisor to, along with Jon Else and Bill Nichols.
"This study provides a map of perceived ethical challenges that documentary filmmakers—directors and producer-directors—in the United States identify in the practice of their craft. It summarizes the results of 45 long-form interviews in which filmmakers were asked simply to describe recent ethical challenges that surfaced in their work. This baseline research is necessary to begin any inquiry into ethical standards because the field has not yet articulated ethical standards specific to documentary."
