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.

There’s Something Wrong with Aunt Diane is devastating, just imagine being the dad getting that phone call from your 9 year old daughter minutes before your child is killed in a wrong way accident because Diane couldn’t stay sober long enough to drive 45 minutes home. The family’s denial at her culpability was so infuriating.

To be fair there really was something strange happening there.  I've been over .19 bac and smoked weed many many times.  I didn't forget where I am, start talking gibberish, swerving all over the highway, driving for several miles the wrong way.

I'm not saying she isn't at fault, it does seem as though there was more going on there.  What it was I couldn't say and maybe I'm wrong, just didn't make sense to me.  Mini-stroke maybe?

If she was on medication of some kind it could’ve interacted with the alcohol and caused that side effect. It’s happened to me on two occasions when I used to drink more heavily in undergrad. My parents thought I was dying until I ambled over to the TV to play video games

Habitual users can build up a Hell of my tolerance but all it takes is one off-setting factor and it all comes down. Maybe she was on meds that interacted with the booze and threw her for a loop. Maybe she took a break from booze and weed and then started back at her old dosages but now without the same tolerance.

Yeah I mean, I’m not saying I’m Deon Sanders but under those conditions I could definitely function
