This paper explains the political documentary from the concept of device. It is a question ofa term proposed by Michel Foucault and that it defines this network of imaginary relations that discipline the social existence to form an order, assuming diverse forms and rate of control. It is a social producing regime of subjectivity. The political documentary is not the device, but it takes part in him. Removed from the journalism and with a personal speech, the political documentary can be so subjective in his intentions as any author’s movie, using the assembly as a resource where the protagonists of the power face in a closed debate and with clear privileges of statement.
