Examples were given how the described types of marginalization were used in fiction films and it was detected and if there was marginalization in documentary films as well. In the next chapter, it was argued that even the animals in nature documentaries could be exposed to marginalization and the focus point of this study, the Life series and its nine episodes and 30 sequences were analyzed through the concepts of marginalization and identification. For these analyses, semiotic approach was used and the findings were analyzed through content and discourse analysis. In this study, it was tried to be revealed that, the television documentaries on nature could marginalize animals through some concepts and in order to do it, semiological elements are being used.
