Documentary

A documentary is a nonfiction film or television program that presents factual information about real events, people, or subjects. Unlike fictional films, documentaries are intended to document reality for the purposes of instruction, education, or historical record. They often incorporate interviews, archival footage, and visual storytelling techniques to convey their subjects authentically and to engage the audience emotionally and intellectually. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, from social issues and environmental concerns to biographical explorations and cultural phenomena. The goal of a documentary is to inform, persuade, or provoke thought, encouraging viewers to reflect on the subject matter presented.
