I was totally hooked on BBC’s documentary program series “The Death of Yugoslavia” - it was intensely researched, not sensational, and spaced into easily digestible episodes.

What other great documentary programs are out there that cover international foreign affairs and conflict zones? I’m looking for modern-ish programs: aka, from the mid-1980s to the present.

My favorite topics: international diplomacy; major global events not well-covered by US media; international conflict zones. Generally a fan of the way PBS and the BBC to present their documentaries - not the junky streaming service treatment.
