Abstract: Arts-based research (ABR) has been gaining attention and popularity in recent years. One manifestation of this is the increased adoption of research-based documentaries as a means of knowledge production and mobilization in the field of gifted and talented education (e.g., "RISE, The G Word"). However, there has been little conversation on how documentaries can be more systematically adopted as a research tool. The goal of the study is to understand field researchers' and practitioners' perspectives, considerations, and inspirations regarding a gifted documentary and ABR. Employing a one-group posttest only design, this study treated the screening of the "Superkids 2" documentary as an intervention and used a post-screening survey to collect data. Research participants (N = 135) were recruited from two international conferences in gifted education (NAGC and APCG). Findings of the study show a strong appreciation for ABR and a heightened willingness for further exploration. The findings also indicate that "Superkids 2" not only deepened understanding of the gifted population but also stimulated reflective and critical thinking regarding research and teaching practices, which aligns with the essence of qualitative research.
