A documentary film is a video that attempts, in some way, to document reality. Even though the scenes are carefully chosen and arranged, they are not scripted, and the people in a documentary film are not actors. Sometimes, a documentary film may rely on voice-over narration to describe what is happening in the footage; in other films, the footage will speak for itself. Often, a documentary film will include interviews with the people in the film.


Michael Moore has made a name for himself by doing these types of films. Fahrenheit 911 is a solid example of this.















But many other documentaries have become very well-known recently, including Super Size Me and An Inconvenient Truth.
