Documentaries are sometimes the best way to absorb information. They are able to utilize interviews, archival footage, and narration to construct a story and a claim. A documentary isn’t just about documentation and capture; it is about creating an account and showcasing a real-life conflict.

Documentaries can be both entertaining and educational. The budget of a documentary film compared to a Hollywood blockbuster film is much lower. This makes it easier for creators and producers with unique perspectives to create content relating to a field they are passionate about. Here are the very best documentaries on Prime Video that either relate to or inspire social justice.
