I've been hearing a lot lately about how Michael Moore doesn't make "real" documentaries. I will admit that he is pretty far left but his films are still documentaries. They're persuasive documentaries and try to get a point across.
Quote:Today the word 'documentary' is used to describe any film or programme which includes some factual element, from investigative programmes on child abuse or illegal immigration to 'fly on the wall' documentaries such as 'Airport'. In fact, for viewers and broadcasters alike, documentary is now used to define any programme that is not a drama.
