ENGLISH CYBERSPACE CHALLENGE: MINI DOCUMENTARY COMPETITION 2022
1.0 INTRODUCTION
A mini documentary is a non-fictional film that highlights real-life events, mainly for
educational and historical record purposes. It features a visual storytelling with a non-
fiction subject that is presented in a factual and informative manner and is often
accompanied by narration. A successful mini documentary is able to take viewers on a
spellbinding journey of one kind or another.
