The Social Documentary

Social documentary is a genre of photography and filmmaking that aims to highlight social issues, challenges, or conditions faced by communities or individuals. It seeks to raise awareness and provoke thought or change by capturing real-life situations authentically. These works often focus on topics such as poverty, inequality, human rights, or environmental concerns, providing an honest, compelling view of society. The goal is to inform and inspire viewers to understand complex social realities and, potentially, motivate action or empathy.
