Explain how these will impact on the project. (8) In the creation of a documentary of a documentary the team would need too make sure they're not being biased against public opinion on refugees. They should remain neutral to avoid portraying the refugees negative light but also to avoid being hateful to those with differing opinions on refugees. The team needs to show the true stories of people without straying from the truth otherwise the documentary could appear misleading and rather than enlightening public opinion, influence further hate and aggression. The impact on the project from remaining truthful and non-biased is a time, as fact checking everything will take more time. Another ethical issue is children. Often refugees are on the run from someone or something, so showing certain people on camera could endanger them. For children they shouldn't be filmed without parental consent, and often in their situation, some children have lost their parents. Seeing sickly children would have an emotional impact on both the crew and the viewers and though it may raise awareness, by filming children without consent from an adult, these kids could easily be put in risk.
