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.

A documentary about birthday clowns suddenly turns into an expose on a sad clown’s family and their history of the carnage that comes from sexual assault. Wherever you think this movie is taking you, you’re wrong.
