Topic:
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.
My understanding:
Honess Roe (2013, Animated Documentary) argues that images can be the evidence of reality, there is a degree of correlation between images and reality, and the authenticity of the documentary relies on the authenticity of the documentary images.
