It's engaging enough to keep the viewer interested.

Some people these days can't handle paying attention for more than 5 - 10 minutes. So I'd say that if a documentary can keep someone viewing longer than that, it makes it a good one!

There's plenty of websites that will do this for you though. Particularly Documentary Addict which is definately the best one out there.

What is the difference between documentary and short film?

¢Documentary is a depiction or direct filming ("cinema vérité") of a real life situation rather than a fictional story. ¢A documentary generally describes a film about real people and real situations without a script. ¢A documentary is nonfiction. ¢A short film is strictly on time. You can have a short documentary (half hour or so) and a short film can be on anything (fact or fiction). ¢Short film just describes any movie under 40 minutes. So yes a documentary can be a short film. ¢A short film is short.
