    I'm a bit of a US politics junkie and can't get enough of these kinds of documentaries. The most recent one I saw was that one about Detroit, its rise and fall. Can anyone offer some good recommendations? History documentaries would be welcomed as well, but Americans are terrible at doing these kind of shows. I'm familiar with the Michael Moore package so take it as a given that I've already seen all of his stuff. Cheers.

    EDIT: I can't edit the title, obviously it should say 'US Politics Documentaries' rather than 'Us politics documentaries'.

    I enjoyed The Trials of Henry Kissinger (as well as the similarly titled book on which it's based, The Trial of Henry Kissinger by Christopher Hitchens). Your views on Kissinger and the Nixon administration specifically, the Vietnam war in general, and towards American imperialism more generally, will likely determine whether or not you enjoy this documentary. Whether you come down on the side that supports the Vietnam war and Kissinger or the side that's against it and him, the documentary is still worthy of a watch. You can find it on Google Video with a simple Google search of its title.

    Yesterday I watched a documentary called Bannon's War by PBS Frontline. I highly recommend it because it shows you the fatalistic mindset Steve Bannon has. As White House Chief Strategist he is one of the closest aides to US President Donald Trump. The documentary also illustrated the impact Andrew Breitbart had on this man. The documentary also showed how he was one of the architects of Trump's travel ban which sparked national and international condemnation. Time magazine once had Steve Bannon on the cover bearing the title the great manipulator
