Documentary film is a genre that is based in truth and told with style. Every second of every day, an infinite multitude of stories are playing out in every nook and cranny of the world – the goal of documentary film is take this sprawling mass of real life and weave it into cinematic art. The purposes of documentary are multifold – to educate, to entertain, to bring attention to important issues or to simply highlight the understated wonders of everyday life.
