Documentaries

by hanryyyyy • Created 10 months ago • Modified 3 weeks ago
I have seen more documentaries than I have films or cartoons, I just can't locate or recall them all(national geographic, the discovery channels, history channel, nova, etc) i will continue to update this and other lists over time. I did indeed see all of those conspiracy theory amd superstitious documentaries back in the day. I watched all documentaries, from science, history, art history, evolution, international affairs, travel, and so on. Not all documentaries i saw on TV, YouTube and random websites had some good ones. When I was younger I would look at never ending scary superstitious stuff on the internet ranging from fairies to aliens. I think the conspiracy about the time travel caught in a photo behind some girl used to scare me severely(I no longer believe in these things)

    There was a bunch of similar documentaries to this that included the cia operations during the early days of Afghanistan and later capturing those who worked for al qaeda but I cannot find those. Also I can't find the spy documentaries that came out in later in the 2010's that was based off off of cia in moscow. I also can't find the ones based around the stazi in major German cities nor the ones based in Prague
