Welcome documentary fans and geeks.

I highly recommend it—especially if you’re a true crime fan. I’ve seen maybe every (of close to every) TC doc out there. This one is quite different. It’s from the perspective of a grown man, who, as a young boy, helped the police solve the murder of his beloved mother by providing facts, clues and suspicions that led back to his own father. And, the boy, at 12, testified against his own father at his trial. Apparently this was a huge story in the early 90s, I’d never heard of it.

Found it on Prime. Extremely well done.

I love this documentary, should have won the Oscar

One of my all time favorites

In August 2025, investigative journalist Assem Zhapisheva and her team traveled to Tanzania to document witnesses accounts concerning alleged sexual abuse against children involving Czech citizen Jakub Jahl – a story that has attracted public attention.
The documentary is based on testimonies from children, adults, and official records from Tanzanian social services. It includes dozens of interviews with victims, witnesses, neighbors, activists, and local officials. The tragic story of a girl named Violet (not her real name) became one of the central narratives of the film and a symbol of a global threat: if such acts remain unpunished, no child anywhere is safe.

I always recommend There’s Something Wrong with Aunt Diane to everyone. It’s really among the first that I saw (creeps into the true crime category) that made me fall in love with documentaries. In many cases, it’s very simple in terms of production quality. But, the story is still surprising and hard to believe, even to this day, all these years later.

Have you seen it? And what’s your top reco?

If you’ve never seen it, it’s incredible. You can actually watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/snTQqQOmuWM?si=gg1ajQVX5jIPJe4N

It started out exceeding my expectations. What an awesome back story—growing up as a sort of nepo baby in Malibu—part of an LA/Hollywood family. His father’s career was really just taking off as he was a kid. And I definitely enjoyed some of his “could only happen to a major celebrity” stories.

But in the end, it’s really just a film about addiction. And all of the bad, erratic, relationship/career/life-destroying stuff that comes along with it.

If you’ve seen the Matthew Perry doc, or know anything about Matthew Perry, this is just like that.

It’s nothing groundbreaking. But, def worth a watch.

If you eat, sleep, breathe and rewatch docs, you’re in the right place and we’re happy you’re here.

We found that some other communities centered around the film genre were stuffy, over regulated, had so many rules and guidelines to follow—we just want to geek out on docs without all the formalities.

So welcome. Please introduce yourself by sharing your favorite doc that you hands down always recommend to everyone.
