A documentary film is a non-fictional motion picture that depicts reality and examines different aspects of social or historical issues. Synonyms for documentary films included "nonfiction film," "factual film," "chronicle," "record," "journalistic film," and "docufilm." These films are produced to capture real-life events, people, places, and experiences, and offer a more informative and objective view of the subject matter. Documentary films can be traditional biopics or more experimental in style, observing or commenting on the world's various cultural, political, or environmental situations. Whatever the approach, these films serve as educational tools, allowing viewers to learn about important topics and make informed decisions.
