I would group both the documentary I am making as well as the one I viewed last night within the top five group as being all documentaries of some sort based on the set of criteria established in Juel's article. I ranked "It's In Your Hands" above the civil war documentary just because of its relevance to our time and the fact that it was shot with live footage versus a narration/account of a historical period where it is impossible to capture live footage of the actual events being discussed. I suppose by these criteria I could have ranked my own documentary above the civil war one as well, but mine being made by a total amateur, I didn't feel comfortable to personally make that call! Nevertheless, mine will definitely address reality as it is rather than follow a script of fiction.
