I think the most recent documentary film I saw was Sicko. Saw it being shared after the insurance CEO issue.

Just shared a recent example I remember, films from all language or region are ok.

    • The Farthest (about NASA’s Voyager missions)
    • Hurt Locker Hero / The Deminer (about Fakhir Berwari, a bomb disposal expert who disarmed thousands of landmines in Iraq with just a pocket knife and a pair of wire clippers)
    • The Devil We Know (tells the story of DuPont’s decades-long cover-up of the harm caused by chemicals used to make its popular non-stick Teflon products)

    All three are very good, very moving documentaries.

      Yay, I was going to say The Farthest too! Amazing doc, that I was lucky enough to see at the cinema, with the director present to talk about it afterwards.

      Highly recommend.

        Oh wow, that must have been amazing. I only saw it when the BBC broadcast it. But I don’t think I’ve ever been so moved by a science documentary.

          Yeah, likewise, it’s a beautiful piece of work, genuinely inspiring.

          And yeah, it was a fabulous experience to see it on the big screen. It was part of the Edinburgh International Film Festival, and I’m so glad I caught it 😁
