Ah yes, I watched that too. Very interesting. Quite unbelievable, in light of recent crimes/corruption and seemingly complete immunity to jail time, that she was imprisoned. Made an example of. I can think of more compelling candidates for that treatment than her.

The Lost Tapes of Hitler
Extremely good documentary series but insanely scary for what is going on in the world today looks like it could become the old "history is repeating itself yet again & very few people even see if".

Just rewatched “Grizzly Man” which is one of my favorites by Werner Herzog. Also “The Remarkable Life of Ibelin” is on Netflix right now, which I thought was very good.

Two that really stood out to me recently are:

• "The Social Dilemma": This one's a real eye-opener about the impact of social media on our lives. It dives deep into the algorithms that these platforms use, how they manipulate our emotions and attention spans, and the potential dangers of this constant connectivity. It's a bit of a scary watch, but incredibly important.
• "Icarus": This documentary starts off as a film about doping in sports, but takes a completely unexpected turn when the filmmaker gets entangled with a Russian state-sponsored doping program. It's a gripping thriller that exposes a massive international conspiracy. The twists and turns are incredible, and it's a powerful reminder of the lengths people will go to for success.

Have you seen either of these? What documentaries have you been enjoying lately?"
