I enjoy watching documentaries as a method for learning about important topics and gaining new perspectives. Following are some of my favorite documentaries that I have found to be both informative and impactful.
Do you have some favorites? Please leave a comment/reply below. Thank you!!
Any bad ones that are to be avoided?
Some documentaries tend to present skewed information in order to forward their agenda. I don't remember the names of all the crappy documentaries I've seen, but one example is the "Look Inside" documentaries, where the information presented shows their corporate sponsors only in a good light. Another example is "Chariot of the gods." In general, I try to make sure that the researchers/presenters/interviewees are reputable and there are no hidden agendas to the documentary.
There are a couple hundred more which I thought were good; a list which I meticulously curated over the years… until the hard drive containing this list blew up.
Thank you so much Simon! I can't wait to get started watching all of these. I have only seen Zeitgeist, which I agree was excellent.
