Documentaries worth watching. Post 'em here

[VocalNeal]

This is good if it hasn't been suggested before. In which case it is still good.

[Edmond]

And where does one watch or DL it from?

Human evolution and migration from Africa is always interesting, though is likely quite good even if it doesn't stretch back that far.

Apocalypse 45.

WWII doco with what I found an irritating format.

But there is some really good footage I haven't seen before.

On the whole, worth a watch (80 mins).

Well as they say there's a whole bunch of time I'll never get back. What an appallingly dull load of footage. Not a documentary just a load of war footage with no real story.

I cannot recommend it.

^ Thanks for the review.

Sounds like only a bit of a simpleton would rate it.

Tiz very good.

Oh.

Russia’s meddling in the United States’ elections is not a hoax. It’s the culmination of Moscow’s decades-long campaign to tear the West apart. “Operation InfeKtion” reveals the ways in which one of the Soviets’ central tactics — the promulgation of lies about America — continues today, from Pizzagate to George Soros conspiracies. Meet the KGB spies who conceived this virus and the American truth squads who tried — and are still trying — to fight it. Countries from Pakistan to Brazil are now debating reality, and in Vladimir Putin’s greatest triumph, Americans are using Russia’s playbook against one another without the faintest clue.

4 Corners is definitely Australia's best Investigative journalism show (in a nation with a dearth of them). If you're the least interested in US politics and the role of the media, I reckon this is required watching:-
