As words change their meaning through usage, "documentary" now includes films 
full of reenactments.


The whole field of documentary studies has changed and grown  in the past 25 
years or so, as nicely demonstrated by the massive new anthology edited by 
Jonathan Kahana, The Documentary Film Reader.  What used to be thought of 
largely as the social documentary tradition now encompasses all kinds of 
examples from the world of nonfiction, and often television and social media 
screen forms.  At the recent Visible Evidence documentary conference in Montana 
I heard a panel on what would have been called “landscape photography” in art 
circles.
