Have an entertainment attorney walk ya through it. The hourly rate is more than worth it as you'll almost always get ripped off pitching unprotected.
Good luck, man.

These days, it's getting harder to sell a project based only on an idea, so I'm told. Many potential buyers will want to see the completed documentary, or at least a complete script and part of the completed work, such as a key interview.
