What are some top notch history documentarys out there? Also

>>2882643
The only way people consider if a documentary is top notch or not is if it fits their perceived narrative.

>>2882643
>documentarys
yeah, we can tell you dont read.

>>2882670
English isnt my native langauge my man, calm the autism.

>>2882670

In a likelihood English is not his first written language.

Much to our "benefit," this website is quite international in its scope.

Most works by Adam Curtis
Century of the Self (recommend this one first)
Bitterlake
Power of Nightmares

World at War

The best WW2 documentary I've ever seen, I'm not sure how well known it is outside of bongland but everybody should see it

It's very easy to find a torrent for it, it really sucks you in

Ascent of Man is good also

1970s BBC documentaries are golden

This.

Some guy couple of weeks ago in a similar thread recommended Spanish civil war. Also made by BBC. It is awesome.

>>2884684
Thanks anon great, bookmarked it, I've been looking for something like this for a while

You are welcome my man.

Civilisation is another good one, originally it was developed as a showpiece for colour television back in 1969 but it really stands the test of time

Both Civilisation and Ascent of Man were developed by David Attenborough interestingly

>Also what makes a good history documentary
Having no relationship with the History Channel

Those multi-part BBC ones are as top notch as it gets.

>>2885514
Thank you very much dude, Death of Yugoslavia aint gonna watch since i lived it, watched Provos, Loyalists and Brits, but Cold war and Shah look like my cup of tea.

no. These arent historical docs, they are basically opinion pieces on current events.

I say this as someone who loves Adam Curtis' work

I've always been a fan of RT's hilariously biased documentaries. Yes, I know every documentary has a bias but this one has a special place in my heart.

YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORLD IS MISSING?

Historical Documentary Dramas.

So far we have either purely factual documentaries with pretty pictures, old footage and shit like that.

If we do have a historical drama its about a person at the top, a king, a general, never anything less.
Nowhere do we have anything that really portrays what it was like in that time for the average person.

With a Historical Drama Documentary you get to experience life for the average person and you cannot get more engrossing than that.

>>2882670
This is an international board dont be a dick

>>2886463
As much as I love the USA and our movies, I have to agree that for the most part our historical documentaries are trash. and least from the """history""" channel. Its all just rock music and shit reenactments
