Margie shares her POV in Time
“People featured in documentaries are real people with experiences that can impact them far into the future, even after the cameras are turned off and the documentary has been distributed out into the world.”
Margie Ratliff for Time Magazine
Camilla’s Op-ED in The Guardian
“I’d been grappling with the ethics of documentary film-making for a while. I’d seen the participants of my own projects struggle with the process of filming and wanted to better understand the complexities of what it meant to be on screen.”
Camilla Hall’s Op-ed
The Observer
“It’s thought-provoking stuff, which also explores our own role, as audience members, in the voracious demand for other people’s stories.”
The Observer
Vulture
“As a viewer, how can we know that the documentary we’re watching is ethical? And fair? And treating the subjects properly? And telling the true story?”
Vulture
The Guardian
“[Subject] looks at what happens to participants in true-life dramas once the cameras have left and thoughtfully examines the duty of care that documentary makers owe to participants.”
The Guardian
the hollywood reportER
“A documentary dork’s delight. The starting point for a conversation about, depiction, exploitation and documentary ethics. Interesting and entertaining. I hope SUBJECT finds a home where many people can watch it, because this is a good start. I want more.”
THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
INDIEWIRE
“[An] insightful ethical exploration. It’s amazing the amount of content ‘Subject’ packs into a tight 90-Minute package…There’s a fluidity and grace to how Hall and Tiexiera dissect everything…Hall and Tiexiera create something incredibly special. A great place to start for getting at the heart of why audiences love the truth of documentary, and what that truth really means.”

VANITY FAIR
“In Subject, Ratliff suggests that documentary participants should have an organization to inform them of their rights, provide legal advice, and help navigate complicated consent issues.”
