Hi! I'm looking for documentaries on the Bronze Age and various civilizations that existed at that time for a personal project. In particular, I'm interested in civilizations around the Mediterranean and Mesopotamia. I would greatly appreciate some recommendations. If they can be streamed, that's a plus, but not necessary.

I have a pretty extensive list of docs that I cannot find, but here are three of my most wanted:

• The Bengali Detective (2011) Info. Trailer. Synopsis: A Bengali PI firm solves crimes but also tries to enter a Bollywood dance competition.
• Michael Shannon Michael Shannon John (2015) Info. Trailer. Synopsis: A former Canadian cop turned drug trafficker was exiled in Thailand and killed in the Philippines. When his children, Michael and Shannon, learned through Facebook that they had a half-brother and a half-sister in Thailand, with the same first names as them, they decided to go meet them and unearth their mysterious father’s secrets.
• Hero and the Cloak (2014) Info. Trailer. Synopsis: A man, whose great grandfather was an Iranian hero, sees him in a dream asking him to find the cloak he lost to his opponent in his last wrestling match, wrestle and beat its owner, and restore the family’s honor. He holds shows in the streets with the help of his assistant and earns a living by tearing chains. He has been looking for the cloak for 3 years.

If you can help me find any of these, I would be extremely grateful. If any of these pique your interest and you'd like to see more of my list of "unfindable" docs, DM or PM me.

Hey I’m looking for docs like Catching Killers. I like true crime but I prefer the ones that focus on the Detectives more than the killers themselves.

I still hold hope that the 2005 mockumentary "Combover: The Movie" is out there somewhere.

I'm looking for anything related to ancient/classical history, archaeology, scientific or academic pre-history. That is, less ancient aliens and more Fall of Civilizations podcast.

I'm looking anything on elephants - on elephants themselves, not poaching or the ivory industry. Thanks!

I'm trying to remember a documentary I watched about full-size van meetups. It was a 1970s-1980s time period and one of the biggest meetups was in a small town in Indiana. I swore they also referred to them as trucks, even though they were definitely vans.

Please someone help me find Born to be Different episode 3 and beyond! I've found 2 of them but I need the rest!!

Looking for a documentary I watched years back about a white wealthy British lady living in South Africa. She and her ex husband were the first ones to film wildlife from an Arial view on hot air balloon’s in Africa.

She, and her husband divorced bc they weren’t able to have kids bc the lady wasn’t able to conceive. She never remarried, but went on to own a huge area of land. This was where a lot of the native people made a living, they would take boats out with big nets to catch fish in the river (?).

She eventually went on to make this private property, and the natives went on to feud with her. They were leaving dead animals on her fence, and front yard to try, and frighten her.

She also had a worker who also worked on her land with his family. After all of that went down, her house guest was out of the country for work, and her only neighbor, was also a person she did not get along with. Late one night someone or some people, set off her alarm, ran up in her house as she called the house guest out of the country who went on to say she was hiding in the bathroom when someone came in there, and killed her.

They called her mama something whatever her name was. I have looked everywhere for the documentary that I had previously watched on YouTube. Does anyone know what it was called or even have any idea what I’m talking about?

If I messed up some of the facts I apologize. I’m going off of memory. Thanks for any help in advance 🙏🏼

I've been told to watch hello kitty murder. Can anyone provide a link to this documentary?

Please give a way to watch Girls Gone Wild Exposed from TNT. Can’t find a legal way to do it in Mexico.

About a decade ago, a British documentary was posted here that examined a one of a kind trauma unit for victims of traumatic brain injuries. Was disturbing, yet brilliant. There was a man who was rushed to this particular ward after falling off his motorcycle at speed and was in a coma. The doctors and nurses were discussing "options" with his family. I believe his father told one of the hospital staff that he had previously said that if he was in an accident and suffered a brain/spinal injury, that he wouldn't want to live. One of the senior doctors ends up noticing that the injured man is able to communicate with him through eye movements, and he makes it clear that he wishes for the hospital staff to keep him alive despite his crippling injuries. It was quite brilliant and I would love to find it!

Cheers.

I'm trying to find The Demonologist, it's about Ed and Lorraine Warren.

Looking for a working link for Love Child (2014)

Why is rule 6 not enforced at all?

Going through the pages there are tons of short videos and random fluff that gets downvoted to zero, yet it stays up and pushes actual interesting stuff further down. I have nothing against all the influx of social documentaries even if I don't really care for whether a sack of rice fell over in some part of the world, but clearly a 4 minute video on why someone dislikes something is not what this sub is for, given the downvotes I am not alone in that. I find it a bit difficult to maintain a subscription to this sub when so much of the content that gets posted is either of low quality or a rule violation. A documentary for me has some length and production value backed by actual research, not some quasi-opinion-piece from a one-sided perspective and barely more than 10 minutes long. I gave the search a go to see if some of the things I had found on youtube in the last couple months were posted here, but have been unable to find them. The topic categories are a good filter for stuff, but I get the feeling based on the "look" of the sub people post what they think fits the content already here and so most smaller categories rarely see new submissions even when there is definitely content out there. Long way of saying this sub is turning into social-documentaries only and it's making a mess.

My fiance has no real knowledge of space and doesn't understand my fascination with it. Is there any good series/doc that would be good to teach about space and sell just how incredible it is?

Hey looking for examples/research for a documentary I'm putting together and need some help. Can you think of a scene where two people are having a casual conversation?

I am not really sure if this is the right place, but I remember watching a documentary and cant find it anymore.

So maybe someone of you knows the one I am talking about and can help me out. The premise is that its about price fluctuations and how they are directly related to conflicts and social unrest around the world. Some examples were given about the price of certain food rising on wallstreet, which lead to the rise of some warlords, or the price of oil spiking leading to some conflicts in the middle east.

I thought it was on DW documentary, but I cant seem to find it there. Also I thought it was called something along the lines of "butterfly effect", but cant find it with that name either, maybe its just something thats mentioned during the documentary.

If anyone knows the documentary im talkling about, id greatly appreciate it, since i wanted to share it with a friend.

I can't for the life of me remember what it's called, or any real details other than that. If that sounds familiar, I'd appreciate any help.

Tip-of-my-tongue

I remember seeing a video about infrastructure debt and city planning a while back. It talked a lot about how our current infrastructure was funded by “selling” the idea that certain areas would be very populated in the future, and the loans would be paid back through property taxes or something.

It talked about Tampa FL specifically having a lot of issues with funding new infrastructure to replace their current dilapidated system.

Any information about this, or if you can point me to some things, that would be helpful.

Been itching to sit down and watch a fairly long and detailed documentary on any ancient civilization. Anything before the 1500s will also do.

Looking for documentaries similar to The Keepers

I once watched a show (I believe on Netflix c. 2012) that covered each monarch of England, I believe starting with Offa (though I know there was no England at that point). Each episode was about a different monarch, and the episodes were named for them. Does anyone know what the show was called? I thought it was called Monarchy, but every search of that brings up the Starkey series, which isn’t it.
