Summary/Abstract: A documentary is an instrument with which the audience has a chance to meet the Other. The knowledge of other cultures enables one to overcome the fear of Strangers. The issues raised in documentaries aim at directing attention to the inconvenient subjects which are often omitted, or warning against the hazards the society may face in the future. These considerations endeavour to paint a “map” of problems which people around the world are dealing with. The analysis and interpretation of Polish documentaries in the context of social, cultural or economic problems present in different countries, will help crystallize the difficulties both at a global scale and those characteristic to certain geographical areas.
