"Academic Documentary" Movies

← See all keywords

A documentary about academic pursuits, such as linguistics or mathematics. These films do not merely aim to teach its viewers, as that would be an educational film. Instead, these documentaries are about the academic pursuit itself. If it is about a single scientist, then it usually fits under Biographical Documentary instead.
