NYT spent months in Ukraine, investigating who killed dozens of civilians along one street in Bucha, a normally quiet town on the outskirts of Kyiv. NYT's visual investigation unmasks the military unit responsible, using exclusive phone records, documents, interviews and thousands of hours of video.

Hello everyone, I'm in need of documentaries that showcase the night life activities of different places and cities, I've watched "Midnight Asia (2022)" on Netflix and I would love to have something similar

Thank you in advance and hope you have a great day

I am looking for disturbing documentaries to watch. More f*cked up, the better. Suggests from any category are welcomed, but I really like my true crime.

Greetings from Finland and thank you!

I really liked these to give you some background what I am looking for:

- Dear Zachary

- Paradise Lost

- There is something wrong with aunt Diane

- Trials of Gabriel Fernandez

- Dying at Grace

I enjoy learning about significant political events, conflict zones, foreign affairs, etc. from regions across the globe.

I created this short documentary exploring the wildlife of an Indian montane forest.

The goal was to capture the atmosphere of the forest rather than simply showcase animals. It includes birds, insects, natural soundscapes, and the changing landscape over the course of the journey.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the editing, narration, and overall documentary style.

This video is about Susie Wiles, a former campaign manager turned lobbyist that now acts as Trump’s White House Chief of Staff. This short documentary details Susie’s rise to power and the people that have benefitted most from it.

A video that goes into detail about the origins of Chinese foot binding, how it began, why it because a beauty standard, and how it was abolished. Super interesting and also a bit sad. The doc also talks about how history can be muddied by people faking historical documents, changing or exaggerating things, etc.

Overall a good look into the history of footbinding and the study of history itself.

A chronological, in-depth documentation of the Falklands War with interviews from soldiers and families of soldiers on both sides of the war. Since many Redditors were introduced to this conflict only recently as a byproduct of England and Argentina facing off at the World Cup, I thought I’d share what I think is the best documentary about the conflict so anyone interested can learn more.

The ‘godfather of tiny homes’ has spent a lifetime changing his mind

Amid the countercultural movement flourishing in his home city of San Francisco in the 1960s, Lloyd Kahn left what would have been a comfortable life in his family’s insurance business to forge his own path as a homebuilder. As this film from the short documentary series Portraits of Another Life chronicles, that change in direction ultimately led him to become a deeply influential thinker on the meaning and making of the modern home through his emphasis on functionality and practicality.

For his portrait, the California-based British filmmaker Emil Lozada interviews Kahn at his hand-built homestead in Bolinas, California, just north of San Francisco. Reflecting on his lifelong dedication to learning, teaching and remaining open to changing his mind, Kahn, now 91 years old, shares his views on what makes an ideal shelter, a successful life and why the two are deeply intertwined.

Franz Kafka is one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, yet his works were among those targeted by the Nazis after they came to power in 1933. This documentary explores why Kafka's books were banned and burned, the Nazi campaign against "undesirable" literature, and how his Jewish heritage and surreal, unsettling writing came into conflict with the regime's ideology.

It also examines why coffeehouses became centers of discussion and why some rulers attempted to ban them.
