They’ll Love Me When I’m Dead
In cinema and entertainment, there are few legends like Orson Welles, the director of classics such as 'Citizen Kane' and 'Othello', among many others. He, however, had a full life of controversy and great achievements - in a story that must be known by cinephiles and newcomers alike. This documentary also comes at the perfect timing: it is released along with 'The Other Side of the Wind', Welles’ unfinished film finally released by Netflix. This documentary helps to answer, or at least analyze, the autobiographical aspects in Welles’ last great work.
Won't You Be My Neighbor?
From director Morgan Neville ("20 Feet from Stardom," Oscar-winning documentary), "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" is one of the most successful biographical documentaries of all time with audiences and critics alike, nominated for an Independent Spirit Award. The documentary explores the life and career of Fred Rogers, a television pioneer who, through his long-running children's program, has inspired generations of children since 1960 with a message of compassion. It is certainly a necessary film for our times.
Keith Richards: Under the Influence
From Oscar-winning director Morgan Neville, 'Keith Richards: Under the Influence' provides an intimate look at the Rolling Stones musician, considered one of the most influential rock guitarists of all time. The documentary has a somewhat superficial focus and is not particularly revealing or visually stunning. However, fans of the Rolling Stones, of Richards himself, and of rock in general will find an enriching journey into the musical influences of the icon, who is also an extremely charismatic interviewee with more than fascinating stories to tell, making the 80 minutes of footage fly by like water.

Money Shot: The Pornhub Story
Adult entertainment, especially in the internet age, is a topic that inevitably becomes complicated when ethics, freedom of expression, commercial interests... and crime are mixed. And of course, no name is bigger in this industry than Pornhub, the site not only the biggest in its field, but on the entire internet. Money Shot: The Pornhub Story is a Netflix exclusive documentary that attempts to unravel this complicated web: on one side, the lack of legislation and protection for consensual sex work; on the other, the accusations that the site hosted illegal content and even facilitated sex trafficking, while executives looked the other way. These are too complex topics and the documentary fails to shed enough light on either of its two narratives, but at least manages to bring them to the table and present interesting arguments.
The Elephant Whisperers
An elephant calf becomes orphaned, and a couple from southern India dedicate themselves to caring for it. That is the simple premise of 'The Elephant Whisperers', a beautiful short documentary film exclusive to Netflix. However, in this simplicity lies a lot of beauty and strength in its brief duration, portraying the purity of animals and the power of their bonds with humans. After watching it, you too will feel compelled to dedicate your life to the protection of elephants.
