Lessig points to an excellent new website on Fair Use and documentary film, created by Pat Aufderheide and Peter Jaszi. You can download the main report [pdf], but I'd recommend visiting the site and browsing.
Many of the recommendations are "best practices" rather than case law, but useful case law in this area is extremely hard to come by. So Aufderheide and Jaszi's work should be very useful to people working in documentary video. (I've already used it in making decisions about live recordings being used in a documentary.)
