The authors of the article take a staunch stance against video documentaries. In setting up their point, the authors give the example of photography. They state that photos preserve the past. This contrasts the views of Sontag, who believes that photography presents a false reality. Instead, these authors believe that documentaries are the falsifiers of reality. In order to make an appealing product, filmakers manipulate the elements to present a specific view, whereas pictures, in these authors' opinions, show a true image of what is being presented.
