Hale County This Morning, This Evening — Definitely an acquired taste, but imo one of the best documentaries out there. Beautiful, slow, immersive. RaMell Ross took years worth of footage and curated a 76 minute work of art. Lots of discourse out there on it. HUGE rec.
Paris is Burning — basic rec but worth it if you’ve never seen. House/ballroom scene of the mid/late ‘80s NYC. I sob consistently every time.
Roger & Me — Love or hate Michael Moore, this doc is amazing. Covers US deindustrialization & the consequences for the midwest, specifically focusing on Flint, Michigan.
All That Breathes — Another breathtakingly beautiful doc. Follows two brothers in Delhi who run a bird hospital for injured black kites. Hindu nationalism, interspecies connection, ecological collapse. Nominated for an oscar. So good.

directed by Bruce Weber, I watched this recently and it's one of my favorite music documentaries. Chet Baker has always been a huge influence on me. I’ve listened to slow jazz way before I got into slow core. This doc is free on YouTube and it’s an amazing and sad insight into his life. It juxtaposes the young handsome Chet on his way to the top with the old Chet in the 80s - the doc came out a couple months after he died - he’s reflecting on his life and his choices and it portrays him as a man who is lost in this dream world. It interviews his kids and his ex wives and lots of other people who saw his career form and fall apart. It’s a tragic story about talent and the harm of addiction. The cinematography is great too - there’s a shot it keeps going back to of Chet Baker as an old man in the back of a convertible with the wind blowing that I love.
