The West Bank has been the white-hot centre of global religious and political unrest for decades. Now, a subculture of Jewish ultra-nationalists are considering it their obligation to populate some of its most sensitive areas. In this film, the British filmmaker gets close to the people most involved with driving this extreme movement, finding them warm, humorous – and deeply troubling.

Recently watched Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005). I had only been 10 at the time and didn't remember any of it so it was quite fascinating to learn about just how severe the fraud was and the outcomes.

As a result it got me interested in compiling a list of other really good documentaries that really cover huge events like Enron, or the 2008 financial crash or the dot com bubble etc. Could be US only events or stuff that happened around the world that had big impacts.

would love to see everyones recommendations.

Submission statement:

Three weeks ago, 238 Venezuelan migrants were flown from Texas to a maximum security prison in El Salvador.

That country's president offered to take them and the Trump administration used a law not invoked since World War II to send them -- claiming they are all terrorists and violent gang members.

The government has released very little information about the men. But through internal government documents, we have obtained a list of their identities and found that an overwhelming majority have no apparent criminal convictions or even criminal charges.

They are now prisoners.

I'm a true documentary nerd, and have watched basically all the "popular" ones, the award winners, as well as lesser known ones.

I've been trying to get my teenage daughter (16) into documentaries, so we can have a new "thing" to share - but so far she's shown little interest :/

Today she asked me, out of nowhere, if I wanted to find a doc we can watch together, and my brain suddenly shot down! I feel like I'm going on a first date here, and it has to be perfect 😂

So can someone please give me suggestions of what we should watch??

Thanks in advance, from a mom who's desperate to spend time with her teenager 🙈

I can't wait! Is he known overseas or just in the UK where he is a national treasure? If you've never watched a David Attenborough documentary and you love nature.... The filmmaking displayed is incredible 😱

From Host and Managing Editor, W5 Avery Haines: 'The subject line stopped me cold.

“We’re not a cult.”

It was late 2024, and the email came from a crisis PR firm hired by a couple under siege—Jeff and Shaleia Divine, the controversial spiritual leaders behind Twin Flames Universe.

Former followers accuse them of being manipulative cult leaders, puppet masters who exert coercive control, push followers into unwanted relationships, and even pressure them to change genders. The email came with an invitation: Come see the truth for yourself.

I agreed—on the condition that I’d be investigating every allegation. And there are many: isolation from family and friends, unpaid labor, brainwashing, forced relationships, and the most disturbing of all, coerced gender transitions.'
