Exactly what it sounds like: name something non-depressing you’d love to see a documentary about. For me, I’m surprised there isn’t a documentary about the Battle of Britpop, when Blur went head-to-head with Oasis for the number one spot on the UK charts. There are so many angles you can go, like the north vs. south aspect, or the fact that neither song was the actually the best on their respective albums.

Scientifically proving that yes, your pet does love you. The Pig War. There was a weirdly uplifting documentary about a POW camp in Arizona(?) for German soldiers during WW2. The intent was to get them to immigrate to the US, so they were given 8 hour work days, well-fed and treated like human beings. If someone escaped, no one cared because it was in the middle of a goddamn desert and the escapee would usually just come back. All the pictures and video were prisoners and guards mugging for the camera and it was just really nice. e: It was Camp Papago Park! They also had movie nights!

I want to see a documentary about music at any point in history before Boomers. Black music in the US before WWII? Awesome. Bach and Beethover and Chopin? Cool too. Folk music in Mesoamerica? Why not. Just no more loving classic rock and 80s pop documentaries, I beg you

Neither the people who make documentaries nor the people who view them are interested in "non-depressing" things. You're basically asking for a porno about dry-humping. That having been said, I guess a documentary about a nationwide Lego building contest for kids, and the winners are underprivileged or disabled--but not so much so that you start thinking about how hard their lives are.

There's pretty much a documentary on every single topic you can think of. It's like Rule 34. I've even seen a documentary ABOUT people who watch a ton of documentaries. It's called Cinemania.

I saw a good documentary a while ago which included experiments showing how dogs devotedly pay massive attention to their owners' facial expressions and body language etc. so as to try and grant their wishes.This might be about as close as  gets to studying "love."

I wouldn’t mind seeing a several episode documentary in the style of Cosmos about world history succeeding the fall of the Roman Empire to the Crisis of the Late Middle Ages, because there’s never anything discussed about that period. poo poo’s always like high school history (Mesopotamia-Egypt-Greece-Rome-Renaissance-Modern Era). And I don’t mean just a Eurocentric view during that time period, I want Mesoamerica, the Far East, Africa, the Pacific Islands... I want it all.

I wanna see a documentary about swords throughout history. Not weapons, not wars, not spears and axes, but swords specifically. Start out at proto-swords like the beautiful macuahuitl and move on to the early copper and bronze short swords, then the longer ones when iron was getting used more often, talk about the shapes and styles and what they were good at, cultural significance, all that good poo poo. I just really like swords, swords are so fuckin rad you guys

A documentary about the history of artificial dyes. A documentary about how those "incredible cross-sections" people do art. A documentary on how large-scale sculptors do their art (technique). A documentary about the funniest frogs and how good they are.

Life on Doggerland (the land bridge at the bottom of the north sea which once connected the UK to mainland Europe) circa the mesolithic era. Specifically focused on the people who lived there. I have a book on the subject, titled 'Time Song.' It has a few imaginative sections but not nearly as many as I had hoped for. Probably because the author is an actual scientist and it'd be inappropriate for her to speculate.

There was a National Geographic about Doggerland with illustrations of how it might have looked like, very flat with rivers crossing it. I'd like to see something like the Walking With... series again with dinosaur depictions updated in accordance with the latest science.

People who really, really like Yu-Gi-Oh and play the game on a professional level in tournaments. The documentary is not comedic or mocking even a little bit and takes the subject matter very seriously with high quality production values.

I’m not sure how feasible it’d be (and it would be depressing for at least the people involved) but I’d love a “The Sweatbox”/“Overnight” kind of look at the Josh Trank “Fantastic Four” movie. I want more making of docs for truly strange movies anyway; “Toys”, “Foodfight”, “Theodore Rex”.

I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing (from) an American point of view documentary about Northern Soul in England during its heyday. It’s fascinating that a bunch of English youth breathed life into a bunch of forgotten and un-promoted American soul singers that were never given a chance in the U.S. by rediscovering their records and playing them in clubs in middle and northern England. I want to see archival footage, interviews with famous club goers, interviews with the original soul singers, your typical dance move tutorials, the legacy of Northern Soul, and more.
