Documentary discussion forums online

About Me

At The D-Word , we've been hosting documentary discussion forums since 1999. This page on Myspace.com is just a little outpost to let you know about us and share some updates with our friends. Our forums are not based here. You can only find them at

The D-Word Forum is where we hold a series of moderated online conferences with guest experts in the field.
