Dad's Genre Lists - Participatory Documentary Films

These are my top films for the Participatory Documentary sub-genre. Enjoy!

Participatory Documentaries feature the filmmaker as actively involved in the narrative, interacting directly with subjects and often becoming a character in the film. This contrasts with observational documentaries where the filmmaker tries to remain hidden and detached. Participatory documentaries emphasize the relationship between the filmmaker and their subjects, sometimes even allowing the filmmaker to influence the direction of the story.
