I've been watching quite a few documentaries on various streaming platforms recently - mostly due to scheduled tv being terrible, and Hollywood only making remakes. There is some great stuff out there, a few examples below. Kilian Jornet Path to Everest : amazon.com The Dawn Wall : netflix.com Wide Boyz : amazon.co.uk Thereabouts Outskirts series : Rapha EF Gone Racing series : Recommend me something

Have you seen The Barkley Marathons (Netflix) yet? Icarus and Stop at Nothing, both on Netflix, are good documentaries about doping in cycling. |

Agreed: Icarus is terrific. Also on Netflix, the Oscar winning short-documentary about the White Helmets of Syria en.wikipedia.org |

Thanks for the recommendations -have seen Icarus and Barkley a while ago. I thought Icarus was both scandalous (for the open advice of the Russian doctor), and disappointing - he didn't appreciably improve with his chosen regime, what message did that send? That doping doesn't work? I really enjoyed When Heroes Become Legends, looks a fine set of races - could have done with a less dramatic narrator though Looking forward to the White Helmets. |

Yeah, the voice over is a bit over the top, but for the first attempt at making a documentary I think they did pretty good. You should come give some the races a try Oum
