Summary/Abstract: Nowadays, documentary film is one of the alternatives that could make the teaching lessons more attractive to students. At the same time, we consider it important to teach students that views of historical events and their interpretation sometimes differ. Therefore, the aim of this study is to point out the use of the documentary films in teaching the subject of history, while the emphasis is on a multiple-perspective analysis. In this study, we have created the theoretical foundations for the experimental research that we will carry out next year and we verify the effectiveness of this method. We see its contribution primarily in the fact that students will look at history in a broader connections.
