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)

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

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

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.

Searching for Sugarmam


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.

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

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