B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some documentaries I’ve been watching into the ol’ VCR. 

As I mentioned in my limited series piece, I don’t take pleasure in tragedies. I also don’t condone the actions of many individuals in these documentaries. I a) love to learn and b) think documentaries often give voice to topics that need them. I wrote an entire disclaimer over in my limited series piece you can read that goes more in depth about my thoughts and feelings. 

Also, I know there are so many wonderful documentaries available to stream and/or purchase; these are just a few of the ones I enjoy. I personally have so many documentaries on my list to watch, so this piece is meant to be a springboard.

Finally, like with my limited series piece, there’s no way I can properly CW/TW all of these documentaries. I recommend Googling the content/the warnings and only watching what you’re comfortable with. 

• White Hot: The Rise and Fall of Abercrombie and Fitch (Netflix) 
• Abducted in Plain Site (Netflix) 
• Miss Americana (Netflix) 
• Girl in the Picture (Netflix) 
• Our Father (Netflix) 
• Why Did You Kill Me? (Netflix) 
• I Am Vanessa Guillen (Netflix) 
• American Murder: The Family Next Door (Netflix) 
• The Martha Mitchell Effect (Netflix) 
• Pamela, a love story (Netflix) 
• Call Me Miss Cleo (HBO Max)
• Money Shot: The Pornhub Story (Netflix) 

This piece is a little bit of a short one, but I feel like I said so much in my limited series piece, and I don’t want to get back on my soapbox (I’m uncoordinated, and I feel like I’d trip with the step up 🥁). Just watch these documentaries with the intention of learning. Are some of these people absolutely terrible? You bet. But remember to be respectful of the survivors and/or victims as well as their grieving families and loved ones. 

I’ll leave you all with some words of wisdom I was given early in life.
