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

Recommendation Request: Anything wrestling related

Hey! I am a huge fan of women’s wrestling from around the world. I am looking for some documentaries to watch. So if anyone has any recommendations I’m open to it! I just watched gaea girls and a couple on glow. If there are any others please let me know! But I will also watch the men. I have seen a lot of their docs and some of them get repetitive.
