Speaking of the History Channel, I just finished Ancient Aliens Debunked, which is a three hour passion piece dissecting the lies in Ancient Aliens. I loving love this. There's something seriously appealing about watching something you know to be terrible get dismantled with facts and references. Sadly, most of the youtube recommendations after watching this are the opposite kind of thing-IS HEAVEN REAL and Zeitgeist style bullshit. Are there any other skeptical, debunking docs out there?
This is fascinating. Although, now I'm going to have to think of a way to bring up the Zecharia Sitchin book on my girlfriends bookshelf.

Hey, this guy also has 5 one-hour videos of a BBC documentary on the history of Ireland. :woop:
This sounds really interesting, but the link doesn't seem to be working. :(

Did...did you guys actually watch Ancient aliens: debunked all the way through? The vast majority of it is great, but then in the end he goes off on a really weird tangent about his own pet idiocy about Noah's flood being real and exhibits the exact same fallacies that he points out in history channel program. It kinda throws the whole thing into a weird light.
Oh, I actually ran out of time to watch it with ~30 minutes left. I'll forget the rest exists.

I'm not even sure if it actually counts as a documentary but Stories We Tell is on Hulu and is excellent.

There's a doc on Tubi called "A Life on the Farm" that a friend alerted me to. It's co-produced by the Found Footage guys, Nick and Joe. It centers around a full-length movie that a farmer in rural England made in the 90's. It's the work of an eccentric, but has left a bit of a legacy in how people interpret for themselves.

I haven't finished it yet, but it's an easy recommendation.
