| We recently watched 100 foot wave, free solo and a docu series about an art heist in Boston. Kids, ages 11 and 12, really enjoyed them. Looking for other recommendations please. Does not need to be about sports or crime, just an interesting topic and good story telling. |

| The Barkley Marathons is good. |

Blackfish and Hoop Dreams are favorites of mine.
On a less serious note, the Hollywood Complex is about families who move to LA hoping that their children will become stars. It's rather sad, but can make for some good conversation. |

There are some great Everest documentaries. Sherpa is amazing.
The Everest: Beyond the Limit series on Amazon Prime is an entertaining look at the climbers and the outfits who support them. There's also a documentary about young golfers, the Short Game, that was good. I haven't watched My Octopus Teacher yet, but I have heard it is amazing. |

| My daughter loves anything to do with zoos and animals, so Amazon Prime's Secret of the Zoo was a huge hit. |
