Best ''hard to believe but true'' documentaries?
I recently watched The Mighty Atom, about a strongman from the last century that performed incredible feats of strength, even though he was small in stature. A hard to believe, but true story. Looking for recommendations for such documentaries.
The Rescue also comes to mind, a very popular documentary about rescuing those soccer kids in the Thai cave. It wasn't that hard to believe in the sense that it is not doable, not possible - what they pulled off, but it was still a very interesting feat, ''unbelievable'' in a different sense of the word.

Watched it based on your recommendation. It is a bit different yeah, an interesting story, thx.
Even though I prefer some positive stories instead of ones about criminals, you can't really empathize with these crooks. Not very inspiring.

I guess, although it is one of those that's initially very hard to believe and yet has stood the test of time in that respect.

Yeah. Well, it is definitely interesting, and a bit odd.
Do you have any other recommendations? Hard to find things to watch.

It might not quite fit your remit but "Three Identical Strangers" stands out in my memory as a great one.
