When you are a treatment for a documentary, how can you prove that you have obtained cooperation with your main characters?

You get a signed document stating that you have cooperation and permission.

Anything in writing will do. Better to have it drawn up by a lawyer. I know
that's expensive, but when you take the finished product to a distributor
they will want all the legal aspects taken care of before they will agree to
even look at it.

But bottom line; the way you prove that you have obtained cooperation
from your main characters is to have that cooperation in writing.
