It's as mainstream to documentary as L'age D'or is to the feature film. Also compare it to Misčre au Borinage by Joris Ivens & Henri Storck.
The relationship between experimental and political is pertinent here.
As is the personal and the poetic.
And Rudy Burckhardt, Jean Painlevé, Fred Wiseman and everything by Joris Ivens, Dziga Vertov...

Land Without Bred seems rather mainstream, what do we mean by experimental. What about Kubelka? "Our Trip to Africa". An most work by Mekas.

A note of caution: when 'experimental' makers point their cameras at 'real people in the real world' they sometimes reveal an extraordinary naivete about the socio-political 'loadedness' of the subjects at hand: c.f. I would avoid Naomi Uman's 'Leche' and 'Mala Leche' like the plague.
