African Documentary

I feel that an African documentary is one that is about Africa. I feel that as long a person does the proper amount of research about any subject they can create whatever they want. Just because a certain piece was not created by a person from Africa or in an African language does not mean it can not be valuable from an intellectual standpoint. I feel that these types of situations need to be taken on a case by case basis. Also what is the mind frame of the person creating the documentary? Do they have intellectual gain in mind, or is it for some other purpose? This is a very important point in judging whether or not a documentary is effect as a academic tool.
