Definition of Documenatry

Documentaries
Definition of a Documentary:  Consisting of, supported by, contained in, or serving as a document or documents. Also designating or of a film, TV program, etc. that dramatically shows or analyzes news events, social conditions, etc., with little or no fictionalization.
The definitions give for the word "Documentary" by a variety of people all have differermt interpretations of what they think defines a documentary. Some believe its to interpretate actual facts but then some others think that documentaries should act on our hearts.

Children on 9/11- this helped me to see how so many young children of my age and even younger were effected with their parents being killed. Its inspring to see how some of them have changed or started different things in the life to honour their parents. A girl took up wrestling as her Dad always enjoyed it and thought she should do it.

Big fat gyspy wedding: It very different to something like 9/11 documentaires, its strange but also interesting to see how other familys choose to live their lives and their certain rules and regulations they have to follow to be part of the family. Aswell as that how their culutre can be percieved to us as violent and strange but to them its normal and obviously respected.
If documentaires should act on our hearts i think they should be on personal experiences or personal interests to enspire people to do things they think they couldnt do. For example if you saw a documenarty on someone who participates in the parallel olypmics and are very succesful and somone who was in a wheel chair and was ashamed and didnt think they were worthy, could watch it and be inspired to take up a sport even with a disability and even become like the person in the documentary..
