Documentary films. Looking for ideas… honest nice answers only, please.?

Okay, so, you’re thinking… documentary films… boring! Well, I got into documentary films about a year ago, and prior to that, I wasn’t really interested in them. The more I see different ones, the more I like them - and now I’m kind of addicted. SO… here is my comment, then question. Comment: Right now, I’ve been watching "The Corporation" on HULU, and I’ve watched it like, six times (maybe more.) I think it’s the most amazing documentary I’ve ever seen in my LIFE. "The Corporation" is free on HULU. Then, I am also ‘now’ addicted to watching "No End In Sight" - another documentary. I bought No End in Sight, and I’ve watched that one a good five times now. I should note, I like watching any kind of documentary, and I love all different kinds of movies, TV, etc. It’s just that some documentary films I’m seeing are so interesting, I’m amazed. So, those are my two favorites for past month or two. QUESTION: Are there any must-see documentaries I’m missing… anything you’ve seen that you would suggest as some doc that ‘blew you away’ ? If you’ve seen a ‘must-see’ documentary - what would you suggest? Honest question, hoping for honest (nice) answers… Thanks!
I am LOVING all these suggestions! Thank you so much! Great group of folks! (I’ve seen about half of those mentoned, but, I still - wow - thanks for ALL the great suggestions. Picking ‘Best Answer" isn’t going to be easy on this one! I didn’t expect more than one or two people to respond. Thanks everyone! You make me smile! :)
"We shall remain" is the best doc i’ve seen in a long time. History of Native Americans and the first Whites in America
