Does Honest Truths show documentary makers hold complete editorial control, with no narrator review?

Problem. C2-B17-A3-05 contrasts OHA narrator approval with filmmakers' releases that 'usually grant complete editorial control' and 'some show subjects the film early'. Correction (missing limitation). The report says the release terms are usually dictated by insurers, and that filmmakers, perhaps because the terms were not their own, often gave subjects more leeway than the release, including a right to change their minds or see material in advance. Gordon Quinn's quote is about showing the film before it is finished. The contrast with oral history is real but narrower than 'some'. Also, the Pollard anecdote: he felt bad about pushing a subject to a breakdown, yet the moment stayed in the film. Limitations. Interview study of 45 interviews, 2009. Version/date. September 2009. Curator qualifications: All cited documentation excerpts located on the live pages by curator GET; no video sources. Correction of earlier record(s) C2-B17-A3-05 from a discovery audit; the curator re-located the cited excerpts by timed GET. Limitations: The study reports filmmakers' own accounts; no document of actual release forms was examined. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
