I think the most recent documentary film I saw was Sicko. Saw it being shared after the insurance CEO issue.

Just shared a recent example I remember, films from all language or region are ok.

What are some good documentaries?

Lists every documentary ever made

3 - 5 titles would be an appropriate number of documentaries to suggest here.

I disagree. 2 suggestions and maybe a back up, 4 suggestions is excessive and five, well you might as well list them all anyway at that point because you are halfway there...
