Does anybody have any recommendations for documentaries? Specifically ones that deal with taboo and controversial subjects? For example, I recommend Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr..

Anyone got anything cool to share? I'm a connoisseur of the strange and I'm looking forward to any replies.

Collative Learning. (Robert Ager's documentary channel)
Film analysis, psychology, technology, politics.
If you like film analysis, Ager's work delves deeper than any film studies course.

Serial Killer Culture. Deals with the fascination and collecting of art done by incarcerated serial killers.

I also loved Eating with Cannibals

These look great!

Vice did a really good one called Interview with a Cannibal, which I thoroughly recommend (but not for the faint of heart).

Would The Qatsi Trilogy count as a weird documentary?

My friend actually lent me his copy. I'm just trying to find some time to watch them all consecutively :P
