documentary cinema

Documentary cinema is a filmmaking genre that aims to truthfully portray real-life events, people, and issues. It uses actual footage, interviews, and factual storytelling to inform, educate, or provoke thought. Unlike fictional movies, documentaries focus on authenticity and often explore social, political, or cultural topics to give viewers insight into real-world situations. They may be subjective or objective, but their primary goal is to present reality with honesty and depth, encouraging understanding and awareness.
