The theoretical and methodological fundamentals for an approximation to intercultural documentaries, taken from two Basque documentaries, are outlined in this article. The authors begin with Fornet-Betancourt’s notion of interculturality, Bruzziy Nicholsy’s theories on documentaries, and Whiteman’s documentary analysis. According to their findings, cultural documentaries not only describe and interpret the collective world, but also contribute to the social construction of reality.
