Thanks Analog... I was going to say that in my original post but wanted to avoid saying his name...
I have noticed a trend in all the MM thread where some are using a dictionary definition of documentary like crutch... That definition does not apply, it is too strict and useless for *any* documentary (except perhaps the most driest of the genre).
Today's documentary is a many headed beast and full of sub-genres... from Reality and Lifestyle Television to Political and Social commentaries... A documentary is a work of non-fiction.
Go to your local bookstore or library and look in the non-fiction section... you will find a plethora of sub-genres: histories, how-to, science journals, political commentary, etc. Documentary filmmaking is no different.
