For as long as documentaries have existed, filmmakers and activists have used the platform to tell important historical stories, comment on current hot-button issues, and jumpstart social movements. Social justice documentaries cover topics that include racism, women’s rights, healthcare, the LGBTQ+ community, political unrest, gun violence, among many others. These films are able to entertain like music docs, inspire like sports docs; educate like nature docs, tell harrowing stories like true crime docs; but can also act as a tool to create real societal change....
