A documentary film is a non-fictional, motion picture intended to “document reality, primarily for the purposes of instruction, education, or maintaining a historical record”.[1] Documentary has been described as “a filmmaking practice, a cinematic tradition, and mode of audience reception that is continually evolving and is without clear boundaries”.[2] Documentary films were originally called actuality films, and were one minute, or less, in length. Over time, documentaries have evolved to be longer in length, and to include more categories; some examples being: educational, observational, and docufiction. Documentaries are meant to be informative works, and are often used within schools, as a resource to teach various principles.

Social media platforms, such as YouTube, have provided an avenue for the growth of the documentary film genre; These platforms have increased the distribution area and ease-of-accessibility; thereby, enhancing the ability to educate a larger volume of viewers, and broadening the reach of persons who receive that information.
