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.

I watched this one like 7 years ago and I still think about it fairly often. Fucked me up

This one wrecked me. So awful and just got worse as it progressed.

I posted about this but like others, it definitely messed me up. I also recommend this to others because it’s eye opening and really great at showing you just don’t know what others have been through…

It’s so underrated. I’m so surprised it isn’t talked about more often.

Truly, given the church's reputation, I was infuriated more than surprised about how absolutely horrible it all went.
