In the common vernacular, I would consider "a documentary" to be a movie.
Because you've used the singular, I ascribe the trait of once-and-done, which is typically a movie -- which would then be displayed in various formats: DVD, theatres, TV shows, online, etc.
If you're looking for a more than a spontaneous impression, then I can't really add more than Vill, Met and V did... which is, of course, I know docs can be both a movie or TV show. More than ever before, docs are created for the TV format, rather than being adapted/edited for TV shows, which is/was the norm.
