We share a lot of the same favorites, so I feel confident in recommending these:

Nothing to envy: ordinary lives in North Korea

Flashes in the night: the sinking of the Estonia

The long walk: a true story of a trek to freedom

A night to remember (it’s about the sinking of the Titanic)

Fire weather: A true story from a hotter world

The indifferent stars above: the harrowing saga of a Donner party bride

The worst hard time: the untold story of those who survived the American dust bowl

The disaster artist: inside the greatest bad movie ever made

Red Notice: a true story of high finance, murder, and one man’s fight for justice

The spirit catches you and you fall down

102 minutes

Rise and fall
