This paper seeks to explain the reasons for the rising popularity of the ethnological documentary genre in all its forms, emphasizing its correlation with contemporary social events or trends. The paper presents the origins and the development of the ethnological documentary film in the anthropological domain. Special attention is given to the most influential documentaries of the last decade, dealing with politics: (Fahrenheit 9/1, Bush's Brain), gun control (Bowling for Columbine), health (Sicko), the economy (Capitalism: A Love Story), ecology An Inconvenient Truth) and food (Super Size Me). The paper further analyzes the popularization of the documentary film in Croatia, the most watched Croatian documentaries in theatres, and the most controversial Croatian documentaries. It determines the structure and methods in the making of a documentary film, presents the basic types of scripts for a documentary film, and points out the differences between scripts for a documentary and a feature film. Finally, the paper questions the possibility of capturing the whole truth and whether some documentaries, such as the Croatian classics: A Little Village Performance and Green Love, are documentaries at all.
本文旨在解释各种形式的民族志纪录片日益流行的原因，强调其与当代社会事件或趋势的相关性。本文介绍了民族志纪录片在人类学领域的起源和发展。特别关注了过去十年中最具影响力的涉及政治的纪录片（《华氏911》《布什的脑子》）、枪支管制（《科伦拜恩的保龄》）、健康（《医疗内幕》）、经济（《资本主义：一个爱情故事》）、生态（《难以忽视的真相》）和食物（《超码的我》）。本文进一步分析了纪录片在克罗地亚的普及情况、克罗地亚影院中最受欢迎的纪录片以及最具争议的克罗地亚纪录片。它确定了纪录片制作的结构和方法，介绍了纪录片脚本的基本类型，并指出了纪录片脚本与故事片脚本之间的差异。最后，本文质疑能否捕捉到全部真相，以及一些纪录片，如克罗地亚经典作品《小村庄表演》和《绿色之恋》，到底算不算纪录片。
