Q. How do you cite a documentary?

Well it depends. If it is one of our Films on Demand videos, there is a citation option right below the video. Otherwise:

For MLA, you can follow this link and scroll down to where it talks about film, movies, and tv on the OWL Purdue site. Or, if it is a Youtube video, or video database check out the electronic sources page. 

For APA, look here at "audiovisual materials" sources from OWL Purdue. 

For help with citing sources, you can contact the Sinclair Writing Lab.  You can meet with tutors in person or via zoom.  You can also submit a copy of your paper for a tutor to review.
