This is a topic where you can say which documentary has really impressed you, and why people should see it. Can be a recent one or an all-time favourite. Can't be your own though, sorry...
Praise the work of others, not your own. If you want to beat the drum for your own documentary, please don't do it here. Professionals have their own Shameless Self-Promotion topic.
We also have a Documentary Films topic for our Professionals where the debate is private and possibly more controversial. This topic here is for recommendations to the documentary-interested public.

This is a great short piece. I looked back and didn't see this posted, so I thought I would share. I especially like the end where Burns talks about his mother and how it relates to his film making. Fascinating stuff, and so true.

Yes, I loved that short piece about Ken Burns, especially when he mentions who he's "actually trying to wake up."
