2. DOCUMENTARY The term ‘documentary’ stems from the verb ‘to document', to convey information on the basis of proof and evidence to support it, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary. In the realm (domination) of films and cinema, a documentary is a film that is an attempt, in one fashion or another, to show reality as it really is. Another way of defining documentary is the necessity to capture life as it is – as it naturally appears. It needs to be filmed surreptitiously (secretly), while the goal is to capture life’s unawareness and natural beauty.
