The project's vision is perpetuated by the emotions and perceptions evoked in audiences by documentary film. The qualitative analysis was conducted through film forums and interviews, yielding compelling insights into the influence documentary film can have on viewers and determining its social impact. The results address the effect of documentary film as an element that directly contributes to social understanding and connects audience emotions through the film.
