A Family Documentary by Family Tree Video captures a family’s stories and history for younger generations to know. Stories are captured through filmed interviews with one or more family members and then woven together with family photos, documents, maps and other memorabilia. The result is a beautiful “moving portrait” – a modern-day heirloom families can pass down for generations.
Family Documentary Production
In the past, only professional movie studios could do justice to documentary production. Today, there is a new type of documentary producer; one that specializes in working solely with families to capture their stories – real stories of real people. These producers help families preserve their history in way that will captivate for generations to come.
What is in Family Documentary?
A Family Documentary (or Legacy Video) is designed to a family’s vision and needs. Below are just a few examples:
- Some families focus on connecting the past with the present by capturing a parent or grandparent sharing life stories, family history and memories.
- Other families want to focus solely on the family history and capture several, more senior, family members recounting their memories of the family history.
- Still other families choose to document a special family event or experience – such as memories of summers spent on a grandparent’s farm or the history of a family business.
There is no one way to preserve a family’s stories. That is why a Family Documentary offers such unique appeal.

Since 2008, Family Tree Video has been working with families to capture their family stories and history in Family Documentaries. To learn about capturing your stories for your children, grandchildren and generations beyond to know, contact us.

One is roots, and the other, wings.”
