I think it suffices. It'd be silly to disqualify it as it is now, but to consider it a documentary if a narrator mentioned some blatantly obvious things throughout the footage.
Granted they could have just called it 'news footage montage' and it'd be a clearer description (but less impressive).

True, they still are telling a story.
I guess I'm the one who is out of touch. 😞

You have to go watch Man with a Movie Camera.
Greatest documentary ever, described by its director as
>AN EXPERIMENTATION IN THE CINEMATIC COMMUNICATION Of visual phenomena WITHOUT THE USE OF INTERTITLES (a film without intertitles) WITHOUT THE HELP OF A SCENARIO (a film without a scenario) WITHOUT THE HELP OF THEATRE (a film without actors, without sets, etc.) This new experimentation work by Kino-Eye is directed towards the creation of an authentically international absolute language of cinema on the basis of its complete separation from the language of theatre and literature.
