I’m really enjoying this humorous documentary series at the moment! John films loads of weird, amusing, or eyecatching stuff in his daily life around New York and beyond, then cuts it together around a theme and narrates it in a dryly comedic, almost poetic manner.

This documentary about a friendship between an obsessed cameraman and an octopus is really beautiful to watch. Octopuses are freakin’ amazing.

This Netflix documentary about Paralympian athletes is awe inspiring. The determination, focus and skill required to perform at such incredible levels, while dealing with physical, emotional and societal obstacles is astounding.

A short Netflix documentary about a man who ran a radio station trying to contact aliens. It’s very sweet :)

This documentary (also on Netflix) about the mass criminalisation of African Americans and the horrifying American prison industry is not a fun watch, but it helped me better understand the longstanding social and institutional discrimination endured by Black people in America.
