Netflix truly is a gift from the television gods, a treasure trove of quality watching.
One genre that maybe never gets a look in when you're endlessly scrolling through Netflix offerings might be documentaries. And I'm here to tell you that you have been missing out on some of the best that the streaming site has to offer (probably).
I have been moved, entertained, shocked, upset and educated by documentaries throughout the years, and I didn't have to do much more than veg on my couch and listen.
Here are just some of the best documentaries on Netflix right now...

A compelling introduction to the women’s movement throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
The inspiring doc touches on topics beyond gender inequality, like racism, classism, and homophobia.
