Documentaries can be really interesting. You'll be amazed at the wide variety of documentaries that the library carries. You can browse the library catalog for documentaries or do a subject search for "Documentary films."
There are a few documentaries with ties to Washington State such as "Arid Lands" about the Hanford nuclear site, "The Heart of the Game" about the Roosevelt High School women's basketball team, and "Source to the Sea" about a man who swims the length of the Columbia River.
If you want to see a funny slice of life check out "Heavy Metal Parking Lot." It is full of short interviews with Judas Priest fans in the concert parking lot.
If you are interested in making your own documentary, consider taking classes at the 911 Media Center in Seattle or at the Northwest Film Forum.
