Which are some good documentary films? Any that moved you?

Yay, I was going to say The Farthest too! Amazing doc, that I was lucky enough to see at the cinema, with the director present to talk about it afterwards.
Highly recommend.
Oh wow, that must have been amazing. I only saw it when the BBC broadcast it. But I don’t think I’ve ever been so moved by a science documentary.

Yeah, likewise, it's a beautiful piece of work, genuinely inspiring.
And yeah, it was a fabulous experience to see it on the big screen. It was part of the Edinburgh International Film Festival, and I'm so glad I caught it

I think the most recent documentary film I saw was Sicko. Saw it being shared after the insurance CEO issue.
I'm not USAmerican, so not only asking about ones in America or English.
I watched Lemmy(2010) yesterday.
Key points.
Lemmy Kilmister was a gamer.
Lemmy(social network) is named after Lemmy Kilmister.
A well produced documentary about a hugely influential man.

I love documentaries. There are so many amazing ones and I regret that they don't get as much attention as the biggest fiction films, even though I love those too.
Here are two documentaries that immediately spring to mind because they made a big impression on me:
If you can stomach it...The Act of Killing is an amazing documentary. Harrowing stuff.

The Battle of Chile is a three part documentary about the military coup against Salvador Allende in the 1970s. Patricio Guzman and his associates recognized that crazy things were about to happen and took to the streets to capture as much footage as they could, knowing that a record needed to be kept. One of the cameramen was disappeared, tortured, and presumably killed, while the others smuggled the footage out to Cuba.
It may feel too prescient for American audiences now. Gods, it was plenty powerful to me as an American watching in 2012. It is well worth your time.

Absolutely! If you haven't watched it yet, Dark Days is also harrowing, if not as much as The Act of Killing.
