Documentaries are hailed by teachers everywhere who are too lazy to design lesson plans and/or too stupid to cover course curriculum and/or were out drinking late the night before and need some time to sleep during class. They are usually reviled by those who must watch them. Although making a documentary can be as simple as finding an old man, turning on a camera and asking him a question about anything, traditional documentaries feature reels of random film footage about an event, place, animal or scientific discovery over-dubbed with a commentary recorded by an aloof gentleman speaking snooty English. Sometimes, the over-dubbing is interrupted with short interviews of boring academics with PhDs who apparently boast some expertise in the topic of the film.
