Almost every streaming service has a thriving documentary selection, but few can offer the sheer volume that Netflix can. Netflix not only funds and produces a large number of documentaries of its own, but it also aggressively loads up with preexisting documentaries, including a few on loan from other studios like Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief.
Also among this month’s offerings are a moving documentary about prisons and their affects on families in Daughters, and a unique look at the Russian doping scandal in Icarus. But if you want something truly heartwarming, Inside of the Mind of a Dog should fit the bill. These films are just a small selection of the best documentaries on Netflix right now, which you can find below.
We’ve also rounded up the best documentaries on Amazon Prime Video and the best documentaries on Hulu if Netflix doesn’t have what you’re looking for.
