Documentaries

Documentaries can refer to anything from a comedic, fictional mockumentary of day-to-day life (eg The Office, Ja'mie: Private School Girl, etc.) to a serious real life account to a crime committed in the recent past (Oscar Pistorius: The Truth, Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son about a Father, etc.).

The main purpose of a documentary is to portray a series of events in an engaging way, keeping the audience's attention.  They often include research about the topic, captured footage of said event and one-to-one interviews with people who are involved.  This gives the viewer information about the topic which may interest them.
