IN PICTURES: World Dog Surfing Championships, and more from around the world
Moving, tragic, surprising, inspiring, terrifying, shocking ... a selection of images from our planet, over the past seven days.
The popular television show Race Around the World has recently returned, featuring a group of contestants who travel to various countries and create short films documenting their experiences. However, the reboot has failed to address a crucial aspect of documentary filmmaking: the discussion of ethics. While contestants such as Kate McGuinness and Judge John Safran have briefly touched upon the subject, it appears that the show has largely prioritized on-screen personalities, technical prowess, and light entertainment over the ethical considerations involved in the creation of documentary films.
The original series, which aired in 1997, addressed these issues, with one episode featuring a discussion on the ethics of filmmaking. This season, however, seems to have moved away from addressing these critical concerns, leaving viewers with questions about the impact of the show's content on the communities featured.
