That's not much to go on but some general docs I've recently enjoyed are,

  • The Contestant
  • The Edge of Everything
  • Sicko
  • Queen of Speed
  • Finke: There and Back
  • Rubble Kings

Queen of Speed

They said slow docs.

The Contestant was very compelling. I even watched it again the next day with friends I thought would like it.

Not having fast paced cuts and hyped narrating.

[–] steve_floof@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

No Maps on My Taps (1979), American Movie (1999), Crumb (1994)

There's a number of excellent documentaries over at !documentaries@slrpnk.net and !documentaries@lemmy.world.

I'd recommend Connections by James Burke, which there should be a link to on the .world community.

Thanks. Already seen connections. Great show!
