A documentary is a nonfiction film or series that presents real events, people, or subjects through interviews, archival footage, and narration, rather than a scripted story.

A documentary presents real footage and firsthand accounts of actual events. A docudrama dramatizes and reenacts real events using actors, blending nonfiction subject matter with narrative filmmaking techniques.

True crime, nature and wildlife, history, biography, and music documentaries are among the most in-demand subgenres, though the collection also includes political, investigative, travel, and sports documentaries.

Most titles are available on DVD, with a growing number of Blu-ray releases and a smaller selection on 4K UHD, depending on the title and distributor.

The collection includes titles from National Geographic, PBS, Gravitas Ventures, Warner Archive, FilmRise, and dozens of independent documentary distributors.
