    Title says it all. Can also be series (of documentaries).

    Apologizes if there was already a similar thread, but didn't see one on first sight.

    I'll start with 2 things
    • Our Planet (Netflix)
      • I remember watching the season 1 of it a while back, and found it pretty great. Nice overview of different ecosystems on the planet, with absolutely stunning visuals.
    • Fall Of Civilizations (Youtube)
      • Technically a podcast serie, but each episode gets a 2nd version with somewhat matching visuals, so that it can be watched like a documentary. It's an history show, with each episode diving into how ancient civilizations rose to glory, and eventually collapsed. Great educational content, with an author that always approaches topics with an open and critical mind, offering multiple perspectives on a specific story, and often questioning and warning about the possible faults of his source material. The content helps shine lights on multiple cultures, some more famous, some more obscure. Also get you thinking about "the big picture", so to say. This is a gold mine for anyone into history stuff :)
    Alright, keeping it at the above for now. Your turn, shoot!

    War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us To Death.

    It’s one of the first documentaries that at a young age opened my eyes to how how corrupt and war hungry the US government and media have been together for decades and the disturbing similarities in their propaganda during both Iraq and Vietnam.

    Funny enough, it came out the exact same day Linkin Park put out Minutes To Midnight which was a very antiwar themed album!
