I'm currently waiting on robbie9 to take his turn on Drop one keep one. While I'm waiting, does anyone have any good documentaries they can recommend? Any genre, 30 min or longer and can be on any video platform.

HyperNormalisation (2016) by Adam Curtis

Five came back
The last Nazis
The Ted Bundy Tapes
The trials of Garbriel Hernandez
The mind of Aaron Hernandez.

I recommend
The trials of Garbriel Hernandez but to be honest I can't watch it all because it's too heartbreaking, will bring you to tears. It's about a poor little boy in an abusive home and the systematic failures that facilitate scumbag mother's to keep and have their children mistreated and abused.

Looking forward to watching these. Saw Tell Me Who I Am about two years ago, well worth a watch.

I watched this & thought African Americans have a chip on the shoulder. This was before Black Lives Matter. But the more I read about the subject I was shocked!!
I think it's conclusion's are proven now. Won't say any more in case I spoil it.

13th was on my radar a few years ago, never got around to watching it. Thanks for the reminder IDF2!

Not in any order.

The Social Dilemma.

Senna. (This is old but it is a tour de force if you have not seen it.)

Room 237. (If you are a Stanley Kubrick fan this is a must see.)

Kalief Browder documentary. This left a big impression on me., highly recommended.

Senna is probably the best documentary i have seen in terms of story, editing and use of music. Most people will be put off because they are not a fan of the sport but that would be a huge mistake. All my non-f1 buddies loved it, which is a great indicator of quality imo. Well worth checking out.

Yes, absolutely you don't have to be a fan of the sport. In fact I was a huge fan of F1 at the time but not a fan of Ayrton Senna. This documentary changed my mind about how badly he was treated by the FIA & was an insight into some of the politicking that even aficionados of the politic of the sport did not know.

1: Life on the Limit.

Epic documentary, a golden age of sport.
