In an effort to preserve the culture, an effective method is needed to maintain the existence and reintroduce local culture to the wider community. One of the methods considered relevant is through cultural documentation. This study aims to document the various forms of Culture found in the village of Baobolak, both in aspects of history, tradition, and social values of the local community. The methods used in this study include semi-structured interviews, field observations, and audiovisual documentation.

To measure the success rate of the documentary product, researchers conducted a survey of the younger generation in the village. Based on the survey results, as many as 81% of 21 respondents stated that they understand and re-live the culture and history of Baobolak village after watching the documentary.
