catfish was surprisingly good.

Planet Earth

[Happy Panther]

Bigger, Faster, Stronger - a steroid documentary that wakes you up.

Dealing Dogs - A guy goes undercover in a class B puppy mill.

Live forever - details the rise of lad culture in Britain and the Blur vs Oasis battle. Doesn't sound like much but it was reaaally interesting.

Gasland

Hot Coffee - discusses the impact of tort reform in the US. "Hot Coffee" references the McDonald's case from the 90s. Another one that sounds bland but is just eye opening

I forgot the name of it but its a documentary that's hard to come by. It's about 3 students in some bum fug state that basically get accused and tried for murder, essentially because they are the goth kids of town and don't fit in. I believe one of them actually has a learning disability. I think Johnny Depp spoke out for them a while back.

I've seen "Restrepo" and "dealing dogs" both are depressing and sad
