This article employs a practice-led methodology to offer a creative examination of the digital trends, online practices, and shifting aesthetics of political documentary as it migrates in the interstices of social media. At the centre of this research is the production and circulation of Facebook-native microdocumentaries, labelled under the rubric of compact cinematics and radical videos. As a networked platform, Facebook affords opportunities for media experimentation and allows filmmakers to innovate political and sociable contents. I argue that documentaries circulated on Facebook, particularly those with social change outreach, need to undergo an aesthetic adjustment to respond to ongoing ruptures in traditional storytelling and to address the shifting consumption modes of audiences online.

本文采用一种以实践为导向的方法，对数字趋势，在线实践以及政治纪录片在社交媒体中的迁移所产生的美学变化提供了创造性的检验。这项研究的中心是Facebook本地微型纪录片的生产和发行，这些唱片以紧凑的电影和激进视频的标题为标签。作为一个网络平台，Facebook提供了媒体实验的机会，并允许电影制作人创新政治和社交内容。我认为，在Facebook上发行的纪录片，特别是那些具有社会变革影响力的纪录片，需要进行美学调整，以应对传统叙事中不断发生的破裂，并应对在线观众不断变化的消费方式。
