Documentaries are non-fiction films. The genres emphasizes reality and are a medium for preserving historically significant events. Filmmakers use the style to establish themselves in academic circles, while educators play these in classes to establish a level of understanding that can not be emulated by printed accounts. This form of media conveys the emotional impact on a more human level than print and often goes more in-depth than a news piece.
