"The documentary film genre is an extremely flexible one. It can be tackled with million-dollar budgets, zero-dollar budgets, and in countless different styles - at the end of the day, all that's required is a camera, and a story.
Some filmmakers rely heavily on reconstructions and dramatisations, while others take it upon themselves to dive head-first into an investigation, bringing a camera along for the ride. Some documentaries might feature personal matters that directly involve the creator, while others choose to explore more globally-relevant topics.
But no matter the style of documentary you're talking about, one thing that always holds true is that the filmmakers can't possibly predict how the story they're investigating will grow, and what revelations they might uncover along the way."
