This is the best documentary I've seen for many a year. I have zero interest in basketball so if anyone has been putting off watching it because they don't like the sport, give it a try, you won't regret it.

Icarus
Probably the best documentary I've ever seen. Began as a guy wanting to see how much his performance would increase by taking performance-enhancing drugs for cycling.... he inadvertently ends up uncovering the Russian doping scandal.
Won an Oscar for best documentary. Well deserved.

Brilliant documentary.
The Social Dilemma & The Dawn Wall - both on Netflix - are very good.
Fear City: New York City V the Mafia.
Very good documentary and some wiseguys which surely inspired Scorsese.
Bent Coppers: Crossing the line of duty.
BBC iPlayer. Fantastic insight into the '60s onwards corruption. Great animation in parts.

The Mind Of Aaron Hernandez on Netflix is really interesting.
The Dark Side of Wrestling as well, even if you're not a fan of it.
Faking It which is on Discovery+ is really interesting as well.
Spotlight on the Troubles which might be on the iPlayer - I recorded it when it was on the BBC though.
Storyville has loads of really interesting documentaries at the minute including an interview with Carlos Ghosn.

This is excellent.
The Jinx is absolutely brilliant
Talhotblond is fantastic. There's a film of the same name which is a dramatisation, but the documentary is the one to watch (at least first!)

Very well made documentary. I obviously knew the Russians were banned for doping but had no idea the story behind it.
