What's the most powerful documentary you've ever watched? What documentary affected your opinion on something the most or changed how you look at the world the most and why?

For me, I'd have to say Freedom to Fascism by Aaron Russo.

Planet Earth, made me want to see the world and made me respect and love what it has even more.

It would be 'An Inconvenient Truth' by Al Gore or 'Sicko' by Michael Moore.

Havent really seen a lot of feature length documentaries although I often just watch hour-length ones, Louis Theroux's programs are always interesting, and Ross Kemp's

The guy who ran the charity for the witch children went to my school, he comes back every year and our school contributes to it :D

The Fog of War.

It made me believe that JFK was assassinated by his own government because he was going to pull the troops out of Vietnam. It's not the most hard hitting documentary but it's very informative regarding what the U.S did to Japan in WWII and also Vietnam. Robert McNamara doesn't hold back and that's what shocked me. It's as if he had all this burden on his soul and wished to tell the world before he died.

One day in September.
Its about the Palestinian group called Black September who held 11 Israeli athletes hostage in the Olympic village in the Munich 1972 games.
It was shocking to see the bloodbath unfold with real footage.

...and any 9/11 documentary will still leave scratching my head at how could any human being commit such an evil act.
