Produced by the National Film Board of Canada with the financial assistance of the Canadian Studies Directorate of the Department of the Secretary of State of Canada.

Does a documentary film really reflect reality? What difference does the presence of the camera make for those who are under its scrutiny? Should the filmmaker be an uninvolved fly-on-the wall who records life as it happens, or an engaged participant? What ethical issues are involved in the making of a documentary? The four films which raise these issues also represent early and current examples of direct cinema and cinéma vérité.
