Yes, there are documentaries out there that are not "Making a Murderer" and some of them even contribute to a greater social good. Hold your shock and applause.

The Doc Impact Award honors documentaries that move conversations about some of the most important issues of our time -- climate change, security and privacy, food justice and human rights abuses -- forward by harnessing the immense power of the medium.

Here are 2016's winning documentaries:

"Chasing Ice"
