To qualify for this category, the film must be 40 minutes or less and be based on true stories. "A Love Song for Latasha" is one example.

Documentary Shorts are the bite-size version of the Documentary Films category. "A Love Song for Latasha," for instance, is a 19-minute film that documents and honors the life of 15-year-old Latasha Harlins, whose shooting death in 1991 prompted the L.A. uprisings. Instead of using the shooting footage, filmmaker Sophia Nahli Allison set out to shoot the video through the eyes of Latasha, capturing what her life may have been.
