Documentaries shouldn’t always try to be entertaining in the same way a feature film might be entertaining, but it does honestly depend on what it’s about. If something isn't too high-stakes, or the subject doesn’t involve a great number of genuinely tragic events, then maybe tackling it in a way that proves engrossing is okay. In the right hands, something heavy-going might also be made almost entertaining without that approach feeling disrespectful.
