Recommendation request: interesting, lighthearted, easy watching documentaries, especially natural world or crafting related
I am a big fan of nature documentaries, or any topic that is relatively interesting and lighthearted. Knitting, tiny house building, bird watching, etc. I have watched many of the nature docs on Hulu/Netflix, though I know this sub is mostly free documentaries so I’m hoping for additional recommendations. I feel like there are so many documentaries with murder, true crime, things like that, but I like something easy and interesting for while I knit.
I have also recently learned about SlowTV from Norway which interests me if that is of any help.
Any recommendations ?

Recommendation Request: Help Finding Specific Vietnam Documentary
Hello,
I'm trying to remember a Vietnam feature documentary that's about someone going back to Vietnam and making a personal video diary. I remember a lot of reflection and shots from trains. I forget if it's the actual person that served in Vietnam or their son/daughter. I believe it came out in the late 90's or early 2000's. It was mostly current day footage (of the time) and about them exploring the spaces that battles and past trauma happened.
Appreciate the help!
Thank you.

Recommendation request: docs centered around someone bipolar
I'm bipolar. I wanna see the worst sides of it. I'm open to docs about schizophrenia and psychosis.
Ones that I liked: six schizophrenic brothers, the Billie Milligan (not bipolar but still like the mental illness aspect, out of mind out of sight, of two minds. I really liked that it had a lot of home video footage.
I want to actually see videos/"found" footage and hear from the person as well as friends/family around them. I do not want a doc that just talks about the disorder or mental illness. I want something centered around a specific person/people
