We’ve all been there. You sit down to catch a film on Netflix and you begin the dreaded routine. You scroll through its newest additions wondering how the streaming service has all the money to make a series about British royalty. You flick through the titles you apparently added to your list that don’t sound so appealing right now. You read a bunch of descriptions of documentaries you don’t understand why anyone would watch. And the next thing you know, it’s been more than half an hour and you’ve already eaten all the popcorn you made.
But worry not. If you’re a nonfiction film fan, we got you covered. Looking for something like Making a Murderer but with more Colombian hippos? How about something like Fast Food Nation but about farm workers in Florida? A music doc like Gimme Shelter but about the punk-rock scene in Los Angeles? You’ve come to the right place. Knowing that many of these docs featuring Latino talent can get lost in the shuffle (or altogether hidden given those wonky Netflix algorithms), we’ve combed through the streaming service’s archives and found 15 of the best Latino docs you can stream right now on Netflix.
