Reviews of Truth and Lives on Film
"...Aquino offers a good overview of the evolution of a legal challenge to a film based on factual circumstances andreal people.
...Truth and Lives on Film : The Legal Problems of Depicting Real Persons and Events in a Fictional Medium does a good job of providing a substantive legal analysis of a limited area of law that, in Aquino’s opinion, is restricted by the dearth of published case law."
--Adrienne Cobb, Law Library Journal
"provides a framework for thinking about legal issues in film"
--Choice
“An excellent and concise study of the many legalities pertaining to ‘fictional-factual’ movies…highly recommended”
―Hal Erickson, author of Any Resemblance to Actual Persons: The Real People Behind 400+ Fictional Movie Characters
