| Just watched a four-part series called LuLaRich, about LuLaRoe and pyramid schemes. Entertaining and well-done. |

This is a Robbery Three Identical Strangers is REALLY well done, but it's also kind of depressing, or maybe it's more upsetting once you really dig into the story Perfect Bid |

Searching for Sugarman is one of my favorites, and definitely uplifting. Apollo 11 was good. Saw film from that launch I had never seen before. |

I really enjoyed this. Definitely check it out if you were a Punky Brewster fan back in the day |

King of Kong is one of the best ever and would appeal to teens.
How to Survive a Plague is unbelievable but might be a bit heavy. |

| Icarus and Barkley Marathon are both great suggestions. McMillions is just fantastic, and I would recommend Wild Wild Country as well. |

| If your kid likes sports at all, most of the ESPN 30 for 30 documentaries are excellent. |

Picture Character (about emojis - lots and lots of fun!)
Chicken People (about people who show competitive chickens - also lots of fun, if you liked Best in Show you'll "get" Chicken People) Human Nature (about CRISPR - really interesting and entertaining, even the non-sciencey people among us) Slay the Dragon (learn a little something about gerrymandering, which is such an important issue, and enjoy it) No Ordinary Man (beautiful and super creative, about a transgender musician in the 1950s and his legacy on the trans community) Last Truck (goes with American Factory, but watch Last Truck first) |
