For me it’s gotta be something from ARTE (the French/German culture television channel). Either it’s the one about Chodorowskis weird Dune project or the three-part series about the history of racism. Both were extremely well-made documentaries.

I keep comming back to it, Nuclear Nightmares, a BBC Horizon dpcumentary about our fear of radiation and weather or not it is warrented.

It is from 2006, so it might be a bit outdated, but it still seems to hold up.

It would be interesting to see a new documentary on the subject.
