At times I can really enjoy watching documentaries, oftentimes concerning nature and (wild) animals.
I came across one that followed a lion pride for a longer period of time. Unfortunately I cannot recall the title. It was truly awesome.
Two new lion's took over the pride from the older one and then they kill any cub under a certain age so the lionesses get in heat again.
But the mother protected her babies and buggered off with them, and her sister's. A total of 7 that she had to feed, protect etc. while being chased by the 2 not so happy lions.
It was truly awesome, if I come across it again I will post the link.

Couple other really worthwhile docus:
Facing Grizzlies (2021)
Yukon's wild grizzlies (2022)
Wild horse redemption


The latter is about inmates who get to work with wild mustangs, train them etc. Absolutely great watch!
How some of the inmates truly changes through working and bonding with the horses.
Clearly shows how deep a bond with an animal can go and how much good it does a human being.

These 3 can be watched on knowledge.ca but who knows on other sites as well.

In Britain we have a lot of professional presenters who are also experts in their subjects. Here's a few: Sir David Attenborough, Chris Packham, Brian Cox, Jim Al-Khalili, Alice Roberts, Lucy Worsley, Dame Maggie Aderin-Pocock and Philomena Cunk.

'Trafficked with Mariana van Zeller' is a good documentary series where she reports on the black market stuff and the global scams. Anyone on this site should watch the romance scams and the other online scams to see how they can change the video and voice with their computer...lol

A lot of interesting suggestions, thanks!

ZEE I've come across the Will Smith docu but haven't watched it yet.
I sometimes find it difficult to switch when someone takes on a different role. To me Will Smith is a great actor, so I don't see him as someone doing this docu, hihi.
Same with Jim Carrey suddenly presenting himself as a inspirational speaker. To me he's the Riddler and Ace Ventura. Doesn't gel with inspirational speaker so much, lol.

DON Brian Cox is great. The way he can explain difficult things that normally are beyond my wheelhouse... The man really has a talent.

GRAVELRIDGEBOY Sounds interesting!
