The best documentary you’ve seen?

[hmmwjst]

I want to learn something..!

There is currently a Netflix series called escaping twin flames which is worth watching. It's about a cult that is still going today.

The alpinist
Dave not coming back - maybe not the best but i couldn't stop thinking about it for weeks after

‘Scottsboro: An American Tragedy’

About the miscarriages of justice of 9 Black American teenagers falsely accused of raping a white woman in 1931 Alabama.

They Shall Not Grow Old

The Jinx
The Staircase
Making a Murderer
Wild Wild Country
The Beckham one on Netflix
Evil Genius

My favourite is TK watch a really good one and then Google the hell out of it afterwards.

Mission to the edge of space about Felix Baumgartner.

I felt sick in the pit of my stomach watching this, despite knowing it was a successful mission.

So many great suggestions on this thread.

The Sword of Islam

Last Breath ...I came on to say that!! Jesus..still think about it . Cannot get my head around it.

Don't Fuck with Cats

‘The Cheshire Murders’ - probably the most disturbing true crime documentary I’ve seen and I don’t think it’s a well known case this side of the pond.

I know it’s absolutely mental!

I watched that last night omg 😳

Lots of good BBC music documentaries here - including some mentioned on this thread

I’ve seen Free Solo but not The Dawn Wall.

Will watch, thank you

Dear Zachary - but it’s heartbreaking (on Netflix- watched it years ago and have never forgotten it).

also Icarus on Netflix

Race to the summit was much better than I thought it would be.

Absolutely agree. The World At War is, in my opinion, some of the best TV ever made; educational, insightful, heartbreaking. Made in the 70s but still very relevant.

Sorry to be a pain but could some of you who have just listed a documentary with no other detail give me an idea of the content? Things like World at War is obvious but not something like 'Jinx'.

I've just remembered this one. Aberfan - Sorrow and the Stirring of New Life. It is about Aberfan, not the disaster but what happened next, it was an assignment for I.C. Rapoport a photographer for Time magazine. Beautiful and equally tragic photographs.

Rise of the Nazis

The IMDb app is useful for looking this up

Rockfield, the studio on the farm. Quite funny too.
