The entertainment industry documentary is not a monolith. It spans several distinct sub-genres, each serving a unique purpose for the viewer.

By the 1970s and 80s, documentaries began focusing on the grueling reality of production. Notable examples include Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse (1991), which chronicled the chaotic production of Apocalypse Now , and Burden of Dreams (1982), which followed Werner Herzog's obsessive struggle to film in the Amazon.
