History
The unit's longtime chief was Sheila Nevins, who initially served as Director of Documentary Programming from 1979 to 1982; upon returning in 1986, she headed HBO's documentary unit under various executive capacities (as Vice President of Documentary Programming, as Senior [later, Executive] Vice President of Original Programming and, beginning in 2004, as President of HBO Documentary Films) and served as executive producer of most of its documentary productions until she left the network in March 2018. Under Nevins, HBO's documentaries have won 35 News and Documentary Emmy Awards, 42 Peabody Awards, and 26 Academy Awards as well as 31 individual Primetime Emmy Awards honored to Nevins.{{cite news|title=Executive Producer Sheila Nevins Shares Five Career And Life Lessons|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/vickisalemi/2017/09/16/executive-producer-sheila-nevins-shares-five-career-life-lessons/#4c6167a56fc9|author=Vicki Salemi|periodical=Forbes|date=September 16, 2017|access-date=July 22, 2020}}{{cite web|title=The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Announces Winners at the 38th Annual News & Documentary Emmy® Awards|url=http://cdn.emmyonline.org/news_38th_winners.pdf|website=National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences|date=October 5, 2017|access-date=July 22, 2020|archive-date=October 7, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171007170125/http://cdn.emmyonline.org/news_38th_winners.pdf|url-status=dead}} In December 2017, Nevins announced she would be stepping down from her position, with Nancy Abraham and Lisa Heller set to replace her.{{cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/sheila-nevins-stepping-down-hbo-documentary-films-38-years-1068699/|title=Sheila Nevins Stepping Down From HBO Documentary Films After 38 Years|website=The Hollywood Reporter|first=Hilary|last=Lewis|date=December 16, 2017|access-date=August 9, 2023}}{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2017/12/hbo-nancy-abraham-lisa-heller-doc-family-heads-1202229730/|title=HBO Taps Nancy Abraham, Lisa Heller As Co-Heads Of Doc & Family Programming|website=Deadline Hollywood|first=Denise|last=Petski|date=December 19, 2017|access-date=August 9, 2023}}
The network's first successful documentary was the six-part 1979 miniseries Time Was, a Dick Cavett-hosted retrospective that took a historical look at an individual decade in the 20th century—from the 1920s up to the 1970s—over the course of each episode. 1981's She's Nobody's Baby—produced in conjunction with Ms. magazine—traced the evolution of the societal role of American women during the 20th Century; the special earned HBO its first Peabody Award, the first to be won by a pay television service and the first of many HBO documentaries to receive the prestigious award.{{cite web|title=41st Annual Peabody Awards|url=http://www.peabodyawards.com/award-profile/shes-nobodys-baby-the-history-of-american-women-in-the-20th-century|publisher=Henry W.

In November 2008, HBO paid low seven figures for the U.S. television rights to the Amy Rice–Alicia Sams documentary By the People: The Election of Barack Obama. The film—which had a limited theatrical release in New York City and Los Angeles, and aired on HBO in November 2009—covered Obama's 2006 trip to Africa, his presidential primary campaign, the 2008 general election and his first Presidential inauguration.{{cite news|title=HBO inaugurates Obama doc|url=https://www.variety.com/article/VR1117995410.html|author=Michael Jones|periodical=Variety|date=November 6, 2008}} In November 2012, HBO aired the four-part documentary, Witness, which devoted each part to one of four conflict regions—Juarez, Libya, South Sudan and Rio de Janeiro—as covered by a team of photojournalists based in those regions.{{cite news|title=HBO's Witness Goes Inside the Pulse-Pounding World of Conflict Photographers|url=https://www.wired.com/rawfile/2012/11/hbo-witness/|author=Jakob Schiller|magazine=Wired|date=November 21, 2012}} On March 28, 2013, the channel premiered the Alexandra Pelosi-directed Fall to Grace, about the infidelity scandal that led to the 2011 resignation of New Jersey governor Jim McGreevey and resulted in him coming out as gay.{{cite web|title=Fall to Grace|url=http://www.hbo.com/documentaries/fall-to-grace/index.html|publisher=HBO|access-date=March 22, 2013}}{{cite web|title=Jim McGreevey Needs Your Approval|url=https://nymag.com/news/intelligencer/jim-mcgreevey-2013-4/|author=Carl Swanson|periodical=New York|date=March 22, 2013|access-date=March 22, 2013}} That same year, HBO produced and distributed Life According to Sam a documentary film based on the life of Sam Berns.{{cite web|url=https://www.progeriaresearch.org/life-according-to-sam/|title=Life According to Sam|access-date=June 29, 2017}}{{cite web|author=Robin Marantz Henig |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/30/magazine/racing-with-sam.html |title=Racing With Sam |work=The New York Times |date=2005-01-30 |access-date=2017-06-30}}{{cite web|title=Sam Berns 10/23/96 - 01/10/14|website=progeriaresearch.org|url=https://www.progeriaresearch.org/sam-berns-102396-011014/}}
In February 2015, HBO premiered a six-part documentary from Andrew Jarecki, The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, chronicling the mystery surrounding the New York real estate heir's alleged involvement in the unsolved 1982 disappearance of his wife, Kathie Durst; the 2000 execution-style killing of writer Susan Berman; and the 2001 death and dismemberment of Durst's neighbor, Morris Black. The miniseries gained broader exposure after Durst was arrested on first-degree murder charges in relation to Berman's death on March 14, 2015 (one day prior to the docuseries's finale). The evidence leading to his arrest included an envelope left by Berman after her murder and provided to the filmmakers for analysis by her stepson, Sareb Kaufman, with misspelled block letter handwriting matching an anonymous envelope sent to police in December 2000 to alert them to Berman's murder, and a rambling apparent confession by Durst—unaware that the microphone attached to him for his interview with Jarecki was still recording—to the murders of all three victims.{{cite news|title='The Jinx,' 6-Part HBO Documentary on Robert Durst|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/07/arts/the-jinx-6-part-hbo-documentary-on-robert-durst.html|author=Mike Hale|newspaper=The New York Times|date=February 6, 2015|access-date=May 18, 2020}}{{cite news|title=Robert Durst denied bail; new details emerge in case|url=http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/23/us/robert-durst-investigation/|author1=Catherine E.

HBO has also produced recurring documentary series, among the earliest and most notable being America Undercover, a monthly one-hour series of topical documentaries covering subjects in an un-sensationalized manner.{{cite magazine |title=Cablecastings: HBO realities |periodical=Broadcasting |page=7 |date=March 26, 1984}}{{cite magazine |title=Truth is steamier than fiction in new HBO documentaries |periodical=Broadcasting |page=66 |date=April 2, 1984}} The America Undercover banner would go on to spawn two regular sub-series: Real Sex (a late night magazine-formatted series of specials that ran from 1992 to 2009, featuring frank explorations on a variety of mainstream and non-mainstream sexual matters) and Autopsy (a series of specials that aired between 1994 and 2008, in which forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden provides analysis on criminal, suspicious and health-related death cases). One of America Undercover{{'s}} most notable specials was 1985's Soldiers in Hiding, focusing on homeless veterans of the Vietnam War living in the wilderness, which was the first Academy Award nomination for a cable television service in the Best Documentary category (although HBO has had some of its documentaries enter limited theatrical release to qualify for Oscar nominations in later years). HBO is also noted for its Sports of the 20th Century documentary brand. One of its most notable documentaries from that series was Dare to Dream, a 2005 film about the U.S. Women's Soccer Team and the roles of Mia Hamm, Kristine Lilly, Brandi Chastain, Joy Fawcett and Julie Foudy in the team's rise to prominence in sports.
Through a partnership with Vice Media, the network ran a monthly docuseries, Vice, featuring in-depth reports from host/creator/Vice magazine co-founder Shane Smith and a team of correspondents investigating political and cultural topics and using an immersionist filmmaking style. Running for six seasons from April 2013 to December 2018, the show won an Emmy Award for "Outstanding Informational Series or Special" in 2014.{{cite web|title=HBO's 'VICE' Wins Emmy for Outstanding Informational Series or Special|url=http://soundandpicture.com/2014/08/vice-hbo-wins-emmy-award-outstanding-informational-series-special-hbos/|periodical=Sound & Picture|date=August 18, 2014|access-date=May 18, 2020|archive-date=October 17, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171017203105/https://soundandpicture.com/2014/08/vice-hbo-wins-emmy-award-outstanding-informational-series-special-hbos/|url-status=dead}} Vice was cancelled on February 1, 2019, as part of a broader corporate reorganization at Vice Media; a companion daily news show, Vice News Tonight, was cancelled on June 10, 2019, when HBO announced it would be terminating its seven-year partnership with the company.
