On this occasion, we will concentrate on exposing some ethical problems that may arise in the representation of genocide in documentary films. Documentary theorists such as Brian Winston, Carl Plantinga, and Bill Nichols have set out two main axes around ethics and documentary: the duties of the filmmaker towards the spectator –in terms of truth-falsehood– and towards the subjects represented. The analysis of this last direction leads to coincide those investigations with the analysis of the genocide studies; that is, the analysis of the “human element”. This article, then, proposes a cross between the analysis of the perpetrator-victimbystander theorized in the context of the genocide studies with those perspectives that have problematized in ethical terms the representation of people in Documentary film. Along the way, we will not only seek to deepen it but also explore what other roles documentary film can establish in the representation of various genocide cases. Este trabajo se desprende de una investigación en torno a las estrategias de representación de los genocidios en el cine documental. En esta ocasión, nos concentraremos en exponer algunos problemas éticos que puede suscitar la representación del genocidio en el cine documental. Teóricos del documental como Brian Winston, Carl Plantinga o Bill Nichols han planteado dos grandes ejes en torno a la ética y el documental: los deberes del realizador hacia el espectador –en términos de verdad-falsedad– y hacia los sujetos representados. El análisis de esta última dirección lleva a coincidir esas investigaciones con los análisis de los estudios sobre genocidio; es decir, el análisis del “elemento humano”. Este escrito, entonces, propone un cruce entre el análisis de la tríada perpetrador-víctima-testigo (bystander) proveniente de los estudios sobre genocidio con aquellas perspectivas que han problematizado en términos éticos la representación de las personas en el cine documental. En el recorrido no sólo se buscará profundizar en ello sino también explorar qué otros roles puede el cine documental establecer en la representación de los diversos casos de genocidio.
