For more substance (not new), check out American Factory and Knock Down the House. The BEST doc right now is The Rescue about the Thai kids trapped in the cave and saved. This is on Disney +.

The quality and content level is the same, but there is a 53 minute long NOVA documentary from 2019 about this Thai cave rescue available on Youtube. I haven't watched the Disney+ version but it reviews say the quality is superior to NOVA's which is not surprising.

American Factory. Chinese & Americans work together in the same factory, in steel country, the Chinese own the factory. The Chinese work their balls off for $17 an hour. The Americans are slobs looking at their cell phones, bitching about lunch breaks, workplace safety and are completely soft. The American management team is invited to China to the company headquarters. They have their eyes opened as to why the Chinese are kicking our ass and will be eating our lunch in the near future.

Second this, our econ professor taught from this.

I just watched it, great documentary.

The Dawn Wall.

Hi. There's a great running documentary I watched recently on Vimeo called 81 yards. It was about a record breaking last man standing race (ultra marathon) which happened in the UK this year. A friend recommended it to me and I loved it. Really gripping.

Making a Murderer

Don’t F”””k with Cats

If you have HBO, “Chernobyl” was the best series I’ve seen

I'm not sure if you can get them on netflix, but three great documentaries are:

A Thin Blue Line

Crumb

Sherman's March

Not sure if it's on Netflix but 'Free Solo' is a great doc

Excelent documentary that was just released on youtube:

Interesting take.

Are you an American factory worker working your balls off for $17 an hour?

Or do you have a cushy job and make double or triple that where your boss doesn’t monitor your bathroom breaks?

The Chinese see the Americans as lazy.

The Americans see the Chinese as suckers who are treated like slaves.

I thought the documentary was good.

Clash of cultures.

I liked the John Demjanjuk - Holocaust documentary series "Devil next door" and the "Son of Sam"-documentary about the alleged satanic cult connection relating to the murder spree.

I also found the biopics about Israeli spy Eli Cohen and about the murder of the Swedish prime minister Olof Palme, but the topics might not be that interesting to everyone.

Dirty Money

Untold: Breaking Point

its a tennis documentary about marty fish, I dont like tennis but i really liked the documentary

In the same vein, highly recommend The Alpinist. Of course all of F1, Drive to Survive…..

Both really good. But I liked the Alpinista better.

Crip Camp

Check it out.

I don't particularly like documentaries because they are very boring. Of course, such films are very useful, because you learn stories from real life. Recently I watched a movie called The Founder, the story of how the McDonald's brand appeared and how it evolved, and it's a very interesting story. I watched this movie on a site where you can watch any movie absolutely free and, most importantly, without advertising. I feel sorry for paying money for a monthly subscription.

Just finished Trainwreck-Woodstock ‘99 I remember wanting to go to this and bummed but glad I didn’t go as it was a clustersmuck!! Artists were amazing and luckily have seen Korn and Limp Bizkit live with 30-40k peeps but can’t even imagine 250k there for them. Even if you aren’t a fan of that type music and genre you will like this as it’s the true way concerts used to be and how they did and well still do F everyone over with concessions and such.
