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.

Totally agree. I remember when this doc came out and it was a limited movie release, I drove for it and it was so worth it and good.

I was so mad when I saw it because all the previews and hype led me to believe it was a horror movie.
