Documentaries I recommend

Documentaries or short series are so fun to watch. A lot of different ones have come out over the years. It is sometimes difficult to find really interesting ones as they are not nearly as popular as a new show or film on Netflix. I have thus combined a few of my favourite short series / docu’s. I have put the name and a short description of what it is about, you can find all of them on Netflix. If you click on the years below you can view where I found the information about each Documentary.
