38 Documentaries That Will Change Your Life

From Esquire:
"Nowadays, it's trendy to call today's era in documentary filmmaking—we're talking about the past few years, when we've seen whole damn events like Tiger King and The Last Dance—the boom times for the genre. That is only partially true. Yes, we love to queue up a Netflix true crime documentary as much as you do. Debate what Carole Baskin did or didn't do. We're just asking that you go back a few years, where there are even more gems waiting for you."
