Saw one about the serial killer Jeffrey dharmer on freeview a few years back
That was disturbing
So many, as I mostly watch documentaries, but a few especially good ones would be:
Red Army - about the Soviet ice hockey team. Fascinating whether you like the sport or not, which I do but my girlfriend loved it too and she's not a sports person.
Making a murderer - Already mentioned above. Brilliant and just difficult to comprehend the injustice.
Time: The Kalief Browder Story - Again, just a shocking miscarriage of justice.
When they see us - More miscarriage of justice stuff, just shocking how the police stitched a load of kids up in New York.
I just watched The Pharmacist on netflix, and that's well worth watching, about the opioid epidemic in the states.
Killer Inside: The mind of Aaron Hernandez is really good too.
The Legend of Ruby Ridge
One Day In September springs to mind. About the kidnap of Israeli Olympians in Munich. Exasperating.
The Vietnam War, 10 part series, always been fascinated by that conflict, the justification for it, the actions of both sides, the whole sad story.
Seen a good one last year on a Woodstock,can’t remember what it was called tho.
Ken Burns is an extraordinary documentary maker.Quote:

Also The World at War was jaw dropping in it's time in the 70's some of the shocking footage shown for the first time made even more dramatic with Lawrence Olivier' s iconic voice.
Used to watch it as a kid with my dad, 9pm weekly.
Two great shouts :thumbup:
Also excellent at both centre half and centre forward.Quote:

Death on the staircase ? His previous wife also died from head injuries after falling down the stairsQuote:

Hypernormalistion is a great documentary showing the parralels between NYC and Damascus from the 1970s to the modern day. It comprehensively covers all major world events and how the world changed through the ever changing ideas within terrorism, commerce and technology.
That sounds interesting , to put it mildlyQuote:

Of course he did it. He was comical though.Quote:

I'd also recommend you take a look at his brother's work. There's a brilliant 8 part series on New York by Ric, and Civil wAr which they both worked on.Quote:

‘Into The Limelight - Tribute Bands’. Featuring Pink Fraud, AB/CD, T-Rextacy etc. playing at the Mecca for tribute bands - The Limelight in Crewe. Strangely uplifting.
Surprising number of people still fighting itQuote:
