Original Quote
The authenticity of a documentary is ‘deeply linked to notions of realism and the idea that documentary images are linked to notions of realism and the idea that documentary images bear evidence of events that actually happened, by virtue of the indexical relationship between image and reality’
Horness Roe. A. (2013) Animated Documentary. Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan.
Paraphrased Quote
How a documentary presents its topic authentically can be dependent on the factual basis of the imagery used throughout, and also dependent on how reality is depicted in the images shown in the documentary.
