INCENTIVE

Documentary Film is a broad category of visual expression that is based on the attempt, in one fashion or
another, to document reality. Knowledge comes in different ways through our five senses. Hearing,
watching, touching, smelling and tasting are the only doorways to the outer world. The wise men say
that if something is not truly experienced with all our five senses, the experience will be partial, not
total. Therefore in a way almost all our gained knowledge through life is partial. And maybe they are
right.

If we follow that analogy, gaining knowledge through several senses simultaneously is better than
through just one. So, educating through watching educational videos, in this case documentaries, is
really a total different experience than educating only on books. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to
undermine the books in any way. Having said that, lets go and check out some great docs right here,
right now. You can browse all documentaries, check out the complete documentary list or top 100 docs.
Also you can always browse documentaries by categories from the sidebar if you feel like.
