Explore documentaries
Search and display documentary titles, filmmakers or topics inside GuideDoc.
When this explorer is active, use for bare or ambiguous titles before answering
from another meaning: 'Mon Petit' means query='Mon Petit', not a translation.
Honor explicit translation/unrelated requests. Nonempty queries default to all
documentary records, ranked by relevance; original_title identifies alternate
names. Preserve filters explicitly requested by the user. For no matches, ask
for identifying details; never invent a film. Empty arguments open
all documentary records, newest first. Full films retain normal access requirements.
