In the mood for some learning? Then you should make your SPOT below for this challenge.

1 point for any documentary.

2 points for a documentary about dark subject matter.

3 points for a documentary about the horror genre.

1 bonus point for an FTV.

DVD and Blu-ray commentaries are allowed and fall under the same rules, but no FTV point.

This year, we're going to try one small change. If you want to watch a documentary that's less than 40 minutes, you can, but you only receive half the points.

Mockumentaries are also allowed, but they must be feature length.

The Documentary Challenge will begin with June and end with June.

If you need some ideas for what to watch, here's last year's progress thread https://trashepics.com/post/9/197/.

I watched this too, and it is a documentary. It has the real people on there talking about the murder, actual crime scene footage, and the officers who weee in charge of the case documenting how the investigation unfolded. It is a documentary. Yes there is some dramatization, but itโ€™s very minimal, and most of the show is the real people talking, and real life footage. But letโ€™s be real, all murder documentaries are dramatized. Itโ€™s doesnt make it and less of a documentary.

The definition of a so documentary is for media: A movie, television, or radio program that provides a factual report. This show does exactly that, therefore it is a documentary.


And as for IMDb we all know they donโ€™t include every genre it is. But for the purposes of this challenge deadly secrets is a documentary.

documentary[ dok-yuh-men-tuh-ree, -tree ]
Movies, Television. based on or re-creating an actual event, era, life story, etc., that purports to be factually accurate and contains no fictional elements:

Okay. I took this definition from dictionary.com: going by this definiton deadly secrets would count. The dramatization recreates the events, and has nothing fictional elements.

But it is a documentary. As I have stated multiple times it is a show that has the real people, real detective and police man documenting how the investigation went underway. The dramatization is a re-enactment of a true event which goes with the definition I posted. Deadly Secrets isnโ€™t a crime drama based on true events, itโ€™s the people who went through these events telling their story, which by the definition I posted makes it a documentary.

Thank you for taking the time to watch it, and make an accurate decision based on what you watched. Iโ€™m sorry so much drama was caused. That wasnโ€™t the intention.

Yes. I have found some that I am excited to watch, but I only have three movies lined up. So recommendations will definitely help. I am not one that actively seeks out war movies, so I just dont know where to start.
