Documentary Film

A documentary film is a factual motion picture that aims to document reality, offering insights into real-life events, issues, or people. Unlike fictional films, documentaries use actual footage, interviews, and narration to inform and educate audiences. They can cover a wide range of topics, from historical events and social issues to nature and culture. The goal is to present truthfully and often provoke thought or inspire change, inviting viewers to engage critically with the subject matter. Documentaries vary in style, from observational and expository to participatory and reflexive, each contributing to the storytelling experience.
