Is documentray truth or widely recied as fact ?

• Opinion 1: I believe most documentaries are truth although I believe the truth has been twisted and has a little like a Chinese whispers effect. the danger to this is that the audience does not always recieve the full truth.  
• Opinion 2: I believe that documentaries are facts that have been put together to make a story, though there is huge element of truth, I believe that in some cases it’s altered for entertainment purposes. The danger to this is that, the people who trust the information been given can be wrongly informed, and may pass on incorrect information.  

If Documentaries should act on our hearts what should we be making them about?

• Charlotte: Different Cultures 
• Phele: Urban Legends and Myths
