Documentary filmmaking is the craft of creating non-fiction films that depict real events, people, or subjects, often combining interviews, archival footage, and observational shooting to tell a factual story. Documentary filmmakers handle research, production, and editing to inform, persuade, or advocate, and the field spans everything from investigative journalism-style films to nature and biographical documentaries.
