1. How would De Palma, Haggis and the others quoted in the story define the truth?
*I believe De Palma, Haggis and the others would define truth as being "what really happened". While I agree with them that the truth should depict the facts of what actually occurred, I do not believe that the truth has to be presented as a shocking feature story or film.
2. How do they documentary filmmakers go about seeking the truth (however they define it)?
*Many of them get there information from the internet. De Palma told reporters: "It's all out there on the Internet, you can find it if you look for it, but it's not in the major media. The media is now really part of the corporate establishment."He told reporters: "It's all out there on the Internet, you can find it if you look for it, but it's not in the major media.

3. What marketplace pressures make it difficult to tell the truth?
*The market is not profitable when it comes to documentaries. People don't want to watch a documentary, they want to see an action film or a sappy love story. People are more interested in the truth when they watch the news, not when sitting down to enjoy a film.
