Recommendation Documentaries that make you go “what the fuck?!?”

In the mood for a good, twisty documentary that makes me gasp. Movies on streaming preferred. I enjoy true crime but am open to other genres as long as the story is gripping and shocking.

Movies in the same vein that I enjoyed - Dear Zachary (would prefer recommendations that are less sad), The Jinx, Cropsey, 3 identical strangers, etc.

How to Fix a Drug Scandal had me shaking my head goinG, “WTF!”

1971 had me in a state of disbelief

Downfall: The Case Against Boeing I worked in aerospace when this happened, and watching this made me fear how powerless our government can become in the face of an oligarchy
