Summary/Abstract: Humanism sums up all the theories that place the human being at the centre of things, with everything that tends to the values of freedom and dignity; the documentary, in its specificity, due to the privileged part the human being plays in it and the unique manner of conveying human virtues, has a very particular place within the expression of humanism. The documentary – with the human being as its sole subject matter and the portrayal of the human being in all his ontological aspects– distils the humane out of the mass of brutalization; it refreshes human virtue and suggests anew approach on the exploration of humanity. With a structure that tends to the human being and to the good, the documentary is a new and elaborate form of Humanism, an avantgarde form of Neo-Humanism.
