Ethically Questionable

I just showed a segment I edited for documentary class, where I very purposefully selected the most radical and edgy thing a Muslim guy I interviewed said in order to provoke a response from the audience. I tried to counter it with the revealing of him as a character, to make him likable later in the piece. Overall, however, I felt like selecting any 5 minutes from a 60 min interview was going to be misleading...and at the forefront of my mind was always - will this be interesting to watch.
