observational documentary

An observational documentary is a type of film or TV that captures real-life events as they happen, with minimal interference from the filmmakers. It aims to present an authentic, unfiltered view of people and their environments, allowing viewers to observe situations naturally. This style often uses long, unedited shots and avoids narration or interviews, giving the audience a direct connection to reality. The goal is to provide an honest portrayal of life, encouraging viewers to interpret and understand events on their own.
