118 Documentaries Guaranteed to Shift Your Perspective on Life
118 Documentaries That Will Shift Humanity For The Greater Good (supposedly) - 2021
With over 60,000 views and nearly 1,200 comments, its obvious that I am not the only one who likes to watch documentaries. I asked: “if you could recommend one documentary that you genuinely believe would benefit humanity, what would it be?”
… and boy did you answer! We had over 100 recommendations and I am happy to share this list with you.
Quick disclosure: these documentaries were suggested by you- the community. You’ll see how cool this turned out. The topics are so diverse! We have shit about aliens on here. Our food system. Religion. The ocean. Pedophile rings. Murders. Mysteries… etc. And before anyone gets their panties in a wad: there are political documentaries from all sides on here.
To those of you who shared your mind with me: thank you. As I always say, good people make the world go round and I’m glad that we crossed paths. Cheers to you!
My Top Three - Absolute Must Watch Documentaries
Out of shadows
This exposes all of the evil in Hollywood. I no longer see celebrities or the entertainment industry (as a whole) the same. It was a huge pill to swallow but once I got it down, it was like night and day. I have since discovered so many new musicians and comedians and actors with talent out the ASS! It’s weird, though. Because once you watch this you really can’t un-see anything. You will notice evil everywhere. So why do it? Well- you’ll see…
fall of cabal
This one is made in 10 parts and is about three hours long. You’ll want to take notes because you won’t believe a thing you learn. But, just be sure to go research what you are told. Trust me. Your life will never be the same. This exposes all evil: government, entertainment, space, you name it. Though everything changed for our family after watching this documentary, I will be totally honest: it’s all for the better. All for the greater good of humanity!
the trials of gabriel fernandez
This documentary comes with a trigger warning, for sure. Hand down- this is the saddest documentary I have ever watched. I was physically ill after watching this. Actually, on second thought, I was physically ill after all three of these due to the cognitive dissonance I was fighting. That being said, May is foster care awareness month and maybe… just maybe… after watching this you will be inspired to foster. (Happy to answer any questions you may have about the process of becoming licensed, FYI). This is the case of a little boy who was abused so badly (by his mother and her boyfriend, mind you) that he ended up dying. Absolutely gut-wrenching but a must see for every adult in the world, in my opinion.
I received a request to rank the documentaries from the most-mentioned to the least… and as I like to say: ask and you shall receive!
