Note
The plural belongs only to the countable noun: individual films, programs or publications, counted one by one. When documentary names the genre as a whole, it stays singular and uncountable, as in a festival devoted to documentary rather than to documentaries. The adjective, as in documentary evidence, never takes a plural. The spelling follows the usual rule for a consonant before final y: the y becomes -ies.
