Hello,

I'd like to ask for help in connection with two kinds of films.

What do we call a film about animals, plants, wildlife etc.?
Is it right to refer to them as 'nature films'.

Another film-related question that has made me puzzled is whether it is correct to call films that teach the viewers something (e.g., something about history, something about a famous discovery) 'educational films'.

Normally, I would just say 'documentary' referring to both two types I mentioned above, but in Hungarian, for example, we do use all three phrases (nature film, educational film, documentary), meaning three different kinds of films.

Thank you for your help!!:shock:
