Documentary filmmakers of course have the right to include, structure and interpret their raw material in any way they chose - just as a journalist will draw on his or her research notes to compile a coherent narrative story. Film material is edited in just this way, and for whatever reason some footage may be left out, it remains the intellectual property of the filmmaker and he or she is under no obligation to hand it over to anyone. It is a right - just as that held by journalists - protected under the First Amendment. Whatever the legality of the case against Chevron, the principle is unchanged.
