Documentary

In the simplest of terms, a documentary is the creative use of storytelling to communicate valuable information about a subject while connecting with audiences on both an intellectual and emotional level.

What truly makes a great documentary is when it is compelling. A compelling documentary conveys an intimate and cinematic portrait of peoples lives and inspires us to expand our perception of the world with a greater sense of clarity and compassion. Considering this, you may feel at an impasse if you are not a filmmaker or are new to the art. Or, perhaps, it only inspires you in furthering your knowledge and mastery of the craft.

Documentaries allow us to learn new information in an invaluable way. Instead of learning through burying our noses in books and developing theories about intangible concepts, we can see the problems being conveyed in action in peoples stories; begging us to feel into the experiences of others with emotional intelligence and thrusting us into action.
