This document discusses how documentary work, including video, can help advance social change and craft policy. It provides examples of how the Corporation for a Skilled Workforce has used documentary approaches in its projects. Embedding documentarians allows them to capture stories and lessons that emerge from initiatives in a way that traditional reports cannot convey. The video interviews and perspectives incorporated into a narrative help focus partners on shared goals rather than differences. Building a library of documentary content allows sharing stories and experiences to enhance understanding and progress toward common aims.
