They can serve as educationnal tools for school or profesional education or just to introduce an iunnovative process in the society or in a specific industry.

Documentaries & TV Reports

These are usually films created by independent producers or by television channels with the primary objective of informing on a given topic. These films can be both apologetic and critical of a given phenomenon. In the field of tourism, documentaries play a very useful role, as the fact that they are independent productions gives them the critical distance that allows them to denounce negative situations that need correction.
