Into Eternity
Any of Rich Hall's documentaries about the US.
In the Shadow of the Moon.
I second Touching the Void, Inside Job and Bitter Lake. If you want to see some of Adam Curtis's back catalogue, there's a website called thoughtmaybe.com with most of them on, e.g. The Power of Nightmares.

Excellent!'The Green Prince', on this week was fascinating. About a son of a major Palestinian terror boss who was turned by the Israelis and featured a lot of interviews from the lad and his handler, and monitoring camera footage of surveillance etc. Plus horrific tales of what the Palestinians did to their own in prison camps they seemed to have been allowed to run as they saw fit. Terrifying, disheartening and yet absorbing at the same time.

I really enjoyed that. Cheers for the recommendation.How to make money selling drugs not the instructional piece the name suggests.
From the book, ' Most Secret War' by RV Jones about the scientific side to fighting the second world war, the TV docu version is good and a reminder when people could make good and in-depth documentaries without dumbing it down.
Here's the first in the series.

If you like this kinda thing, read the book - it's even better and in my top ten books of all time.

'Unlawful Killing' Princess Diana Banned Documentary by Keith Allen on youtube.
Banned?The film was banned in 2012 after being shelved by lawyers against potential libel lawsuits. Producers admitted that lawyers had warned them to make 87 cuts if they wanted to show the film in Britain.
The film cost £2.5 million to produce and has never been seen by the public.
Now on youtube & vimeo...
