What's the most fascinating documentary you've ever watched and why did it captivate you? - Lemmy.World

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.

2008, I Think We’re Alone Now directed by Sean Donnelly.

It’s the personal documentaries that really stay with me. Obsession, delusion, a personal hell there seems to be no escape from but bewildering to anyone on the outside as to how it’s possible to be so ensnared.
