This is a topic where you can say which documentary has really impressed you, and why people should see it. Can be a recent one or an all-time favourite. Can't be your own though, sorry...
Praise the work of others, not your own. If you want to beat the drum for your own documentary, please don't do it here. Professionals have their own Shameless Self-Promotion topic.
We also have a Documentary Films topic for our Professionals where the debate is private and possibly more controversial. This topic here is for recommendations to the documentary-interested public.
'Darwin's Nightmare', one of the most frightening films I've seen.

LIFE AND DEBT is great if you want to see how the world really works for most of it's inhabitants

Never heard of this till now. Sounds like a controversial choice many different versions too.
'Grown in Detroit', check out the trailer and witness that good things can come out of bad things...
Mascha, as mentioned above, please do not use this topic to promote your own work.
For my money, it is hard to beat 2008 Oscar winner MAN ON WIRE.

Folks, from here on we'll simply delete any post with a self-promotional angle to it. So don't even bother.
