Abstract

The relationship between human rights and cinema has been always closer. From its earliest years, documentary has become a benchmark to report abuses against human rights all around the world. In this paper, we find a historical panoramic about what images and sounds have been to the contemporary culture in relation to human rights. From the end of XXI Century until today, through the films, the possibilities developed by the documentary and its technological evolution, as well as the consequences and influence on the audience, are comprehensively explained. Sometimes, the filmic dissemination of a perceived objective truth showed by a camera is confused with credibility, in a kind of cinema which is often spread through alternative methods to the traditional ones, like ITs.
