.. further to that, there is also the question of whether there could
actually be a truth (The Truth) or whether there are multiple
truths or merely representations...

   I'm not sure what you mean here. How could that video show anything
   but the truth. (You don't believe it to be a fake do you?)

  While a video camera records what it sees it rarely shows The Truth, and
  assuming so is dangerous. There is always the matter of perspective when
  recording a video. In the very simplest of terms the camera was turned on
  at a specific time and turned off at a specific time, and while it was
  turned on it was pointed in one direction and not in other directions.
  After that comes the issues regarding editing and other post-production
  work. The choices made when shooting or editing need not to be malicious
  to be misleading and the question of interpretation is just as important
  with video as with reading a written account.

  A video can never show The Truth (as in 'how did this event transpire').
  Video is not omnipresent, it can only show a situation as it happened from
  one perspective and that's the important thing to remember.

  For an easy intro to this kind of stuff I can recommend Rasmus Dahl's
  article Disctinctions in Documentary Television (in The Aesthetics of
  Television, Aalborg University Press, 2001)

There is only one Truth.

There are, however, many view points with regard to that Truth.
