This article is focused on helping trainers and educators who use socially relevant documentaries to teach history and the social sciences, motivate activists to redress wrong doing and/or challenge community members’ conventional assumptions about society and its’ institutions. After reviewing the evolving importance of documentary in education, models of post-film discussion are reviewed. A best practices model, synthesized from research, personal experience and discussions with documentary film makers is proposed as a starting point for refining the art and practice of using socially relevant documentaries to their fullest potential.
