INCENTIVE
Documentary film is a broad category of visual expression that is based on the attempt, in one fashion or another, to document reality. Knowledge comes in different ways through our five senses. Hearing, watching, touching, smelling and tasting are the only doorways to the outer world. The wise men say that if something is not truly experienced with all our five senses, the experience will be partial, not total. Therefore in a way almost all our gained knowledge through life is partial. And maybe they are right.
If we follow that analogy, gaining knowledge through several senses simultaneously is better than through just one. So, educating through watching educational videos, in this case documentaries, is really a total different experience than educating only on books. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to undermine the books in any way. Having said that, lets go and check out some great documentaries right here, right now.
 
FEATURED DOCUMENTARIES
Zeitgeist: AddendumZeitgeist: Addendum
Documentary where we are seeing how very important it is to bring about in the human mind the radical revolution. The crisis is a crisis in consciousness. A crisis that cannot anymore accept the old norms, the old patterns, the ancient traditions, and considering what the world is now with all the misery, conflict, destructive, brutality, aggression, and so on, man is still as he..
ReligulousReligulous
This documentary begins with Bill Maher, standing alone in Israel at a place called Meggido; a worthless pile of rubble where many of the planet’s religions believe the end of the world will begin. From there, Maher pushes us into an intense, honest, and brutally funny discussion of blind belief, presenting the possibility that maybe we should all consider doubt instead. We follow him..
Planet EarthPlanet Earth
This is a truly magnificent documentary. A hundred years ago, there were one and a half billion people on Earth. Now, over six billion crowd our fragile planet. But even so, there are still places barely touched by humanity. This series will take you to the last wildernesses and show you the planet and its wildlife as you have never seen them before. More than five years in the making..
CosmosCosmos
Up there in the immensity of the Cosmos, an inescapable perception awaits us. National boundaries are not evident when we view the Earth from space. Fanatical ethnic, religious or national chauvinisms are a little difficult to maintain when we see our planet as a fragile blue crescent fading to become an inconspicuous point of light against the bastion and citadel of..
 
ESSENCE
We always have to keep in mind that “Documentary, after all, can tell lies and it can tell lies because it lays claim to a form of veracity which fiction doesn’t.” - Dai Vaughan. Some of the documentaries are made just to discredit some particular person, party, organization, system etc, but most of them here on TDF are non biased, without prejudice and worth watching.
Anyway, I handpicked these documentaries here just for you, but overall at Top documentary Films you can find 250+ (more to come) stunning, eyeopening, interesting documentaries. Choose one that suits your interest through navigation system of TDF, watch it, and tell us how it was through comments. Browse them all, see which documentary films are only available for preview, or check out which are available for on-line watching. And you can always browse documentaries by categories from the sidebar if you feel like.
