Documentaries and docuseries are a great way to soak in information without feeling overwhelmed. Documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles once said, "what a documentary is very special at doing very well is depicting somebody experiencing something, so that the viewer experiences that as well." There are a plethora of documentary genres that have taken the internet's attention hostage. True crime series have fans of serial murderers selecting, 'next episode' every night. History enthusiasts form a closer bond with historical events through re-enactments of significant world events. Whatever your secret fascination is, there is probably a documentary on the topic. Thanks to the digital streaming era, these documentaries and series are available on many family-favorite platforms.
