“Video and Resistance: Against Documentary” says that a photograph is very special because it captures an even as a fact. It explains how memory often times misshapes images and events while a picture captures it indefinitely. Then it goes on to tell how documentaries are bad because they use images to tell a biased story. During documentaries, people aren’t allowed to discover their own opinions, they just buy into what the documentary says
Sontag has a view about photography in that it reveals the truth. She says that photography is a clear and truthful gateway to history. Yet unlike a documentary, they give the viewer room to have his/her own interpretation of the image being that it is just an image. Both Sontag and the author above believe that photos are important tools in with many different uses.
