There is a category of documentaries I never see mentioned in these lists. It is the kind which often is shown in Sweden under the name "Dokument utifrån" and is about foreign affair events that are current or about a year or few years old. These productions are, I guess, often from the BBC but also french, dutch, german etc productions that I assume are made by television companies associated with the EBU (European Broadcasting Union)

They often include interviews with people who "were there when it happened", such as ministers, diplomats, military brass etc.

Do people get what I am trying to describe? I kind of fail to do so, I feel...

Edit: I just checked what is up next in this series. It is this italian documentary about events in Egypt, "Our man in Cairo"

Quite illustrative to what I mean. I haven't seen this one but it seems interesting
