Within our daily lives, we tend to only make room for the knowledge that pertains to our work, our families, or to our personal interests. No one can be an expert in every single field, but documentaries do offer us a glimpse of the things beyond our comfort zone for anyone who wants to expand their knowledge. Through these tales of true crime, the intimate looks at nature, the tragedies of being a celebrity, and so many more, we can get a more complete look at the world in which we live, one subject at a time.
Even with a constant stream of new movies and series coming to Netflix all of the time, the No.1 streaming service in the world still has one of the best selections of documentaries available. Netflix has a ton of great documentaries if you know where to look.
