As an alternative if you have suggestions for documentary sources please do share them.

Mine would be United States of Secrets by PBS Frontline.

LEMMiNO is also great! One of the best documentary makers ever!

Sick Around the World, a PBS Frontline documentary, is a good one for Americans. Comparing healthcare systems in multiple countries.

Mister Organ, by the same guy, was also a wild ride.

The Ken Burns documentary series on the Vietnam War is excellent. Probably the best documentary I’ve seen.

That one was really outstanding. I’ve seen it twice completely.

Adam Curtis, HyperNormalisation (2016)

‘It argues that governments, financiers, and technological utopians have, since the 1970s, given up on the complex “real world” and built a simpler “fake world” run by corporations and kept stable by politicians.’

Koyaanisqatsi, while not a traditional documentary, is a truly fascinating time capsule featuring a great soundtrack from Phillip Glass. It’s all images/video with no dialog or voiceover. It’s a unique experience (especially in an altered state of mind)
