The Great Hack

I Am A Killer, documentary where death row inmates are interviewed about their crime, the victims families are also interviewed so you get both sides of the story, externally interesting documentary, definitely reccomend it.

Another vote for Dirty John. Watch the dramatisation with Connie Britton (sp?) first then the actual documentary.

Broken85 · 14/09/2019 21:27

Evil Genius, Making a Murderer and The Staircase and Mindhunter (Based on a True Story)

When They See Us. I still can’t get this out of my mind

Yiddytod · 14/09/2019 21:31

For a bit of light relief - The Barkley Marathons - documentary on the 2014 race.

pontiouspilates · 14/09/2019 21:36

When They See Us. Can't stop thinking about it 2 months later. A dramatisation rather than a documentary, but true to the real story mThere is also an Oprah interview with cast and the victims of this awful miscarriage of justice too.

horseridingaddict · 14/09/2019 21:37

Blackfish! Couldn't stop thinking about it for ages after! Watched it twice!

CuteOrangeElephant · 14/09/2019 21:37

Something a bit different: The Queen of Versailles.

nachosTrafficante · 14/09/2019 21:40

Just watching the dawn wall. Climbers in Yosemite. It’s good.
