My Documentaries List for 2019

Learning never ends, and I take that idea very seriously.

I’m always searching for new articles, books, videos, and lectures, documentaries on the internet to expand my understanding of the world and how it works.

Documentaries are informative, due the investigative nature of producing them, doccies have depth in certain topics.

The following is a list of documentaries I watched for 2019:
