Touching/disturbing documentaries

Okay, so far I have watched the following and I am looking for new ones to see, so your recommendations would be much appreciated. Especially touching or disturbing ones, ones that make you question the world or the ones that really make you cry. I am very seasoned watcher and don't find most documentaries really that unsettling.

True crime documentaries I have seen and would recommend:

• Dear Zachary

• Perfect Neighbor

• There is something wrong with aunt Diane

• Trials of Gabriel Fernandez

• Don't Fuck with Cats (TW: animal abuse)

• The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann

Also:

• The Monster: The Ed Gein Story (not a documentary but based on real events)

Other recommended ones (mostly about assisted dying):

• How to die in Oregon

• Suicide Tourist

• Dying at Grace

• Louis Theroux Edge of Life

• Louis Theroux Choosing Death

- Terry Pratchett: Choosing to Die

• Last Flight Home (this one is really well made and really touching)

• Endgame

• The Right to Die
