> What is the "documentary" trying to achieve? Change behavior.

But will the filmmakers profit if they succeed? They don't make any money by successfully changing your mind.

You can profit in more ways than just with money. For instance, you can gain status in your sphere by successfully changing people's minds with your documentary, and I would assume that's partly what motivates people working on these projects.

Well yea they will make money if they succeed because that means they made a good documentary and will be paid to make more.
