Some of my favourites that I did not find mentioned here, the topics might not be that interesting but I appreciate these documentaries for the very "real" human interactions in them. (I am not sure how to word it better:
Empire of Dust - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2148945/
Chinese company is building railways in Democratic Republic Kongo, documentary follows the chinese head of Logistics and his "partner" who is an congolese that speaks fluent mandarin
Invisible - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468496/
Very personal and intimate documentary of the everyday life of a group of heroin users in Sofia Bulgaria
Pakistan's Hidden Shame - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4173938/
From IMDB: A look into the sexual abuse suffered by the children living in the North-Western city of Peshawar in Pakistan.
A tough watch, comparably tough to An Act of Killing. I cried
Also I can recommended everything by Louis Theroux and to some degree Channel 5, if that qualifies as a documentary. I'd say that kind of content are more reportages, if I were to make a distinction
Japan: A Story of Love and Hate - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1401179/ Following a japanase salaryman throughout his every day life
Empire of Dust - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2148945/ Chinese company is building railways in Democratic Republic Kongo, documentary follows the chinese head of Logistics and his "partner" who is an congolese that speaks fluent mandarin
