Tribeca | Errol Morris paid interviewees
Errol Morris told the New York Times that interview subjects were paid for their time in his new doc "Standard Operating Procedure":
Errol Morris, the Oscar-winning filmmaker whose latest documentary, “Standard Operating Procedure,” examines the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal, is being pressed about a procedure of his own: paying interview subjects.
Mr. Morris said this week that some of the lower-ranking soldiers who were convicted of tormenting inmates at Abu Ghraib in Iraq were paid for their time, in which they recount events at the prison in detail and describe a wayward environment that led to the excesses.
