My Octopus Teacher https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2021/05/harvard-panel...
Sometimes after watching these documentaries, I feel like I know absolutely nothing!!
Here's another one I fell in love with:
Featuring Mr. T and Kinky Tail, 2 bad ass male lions did the unthinkable and unheard of as brothers as tight as a glove.
I now have mad respect for these two jungle tyrants.
Mad, mad respect.

I'll take the one that required dedication and hard work to obtain never-before-seen footage of animal behavior over a snarky YouTube hot-take criticism any day.
But for whatever reason it made me feel emotions about something I would have never have thought would reach me that way. I think what struck me the most personally was the relationship the maker established with his son. But plenty of others I know have reacted to it in very different (but still highly positive) ways.
I could’ve spent my time better if I’d watched this and avoided “My Octopus Teacher” altogether.
Which she probably did, but certainly not to the level that I'd agree watching your suggestion would be more enriching than watching the original documentary.
In fact, now I want to watch My Octopus Teacher for the 4th time, despite all the excellent alternative suggestions in this thread!
