In an effort to always share content which this author deems valuable, we're going to start including links to other documentary films. As a documentarian (perhaps a snooty way to say documentary filmmaker, but hey, I document conversations and photography as well) myself, one must acknowledge that there is a stratospheric amount of garbage film content out there.
As the years go on, less and less of it is watched and even trailers are not even watched in their entirety and instead oftentimes skipped through with eye rolls. Due to their usually "independently angled" journalistic aspect, documentaries are higher consciousness than most narrative features. So that is why we are keeping these recommendations to that genre.
Outside of every nature documentary David Attenborough has affiliation with, the first and most obvious are the two films Baraka and Samsara. They are none narrative with voice-over. Meditatively focusing on natural events, life, human activities and technological phenomena and are extremely good. One could even say, have been extremely influential on yours truly and Transmutation. The main filmmaker most responsible for them is Ron Fricke. Who had previously helped shoot Koyaanisqatsi as well. I don't know what the hell Ron is doing these days and why he hasn't made another film since Samsara is nearly 10 years old now. Especially since larger formate video cameras now have become so much smaller, more portable, affordable, and thus democratized.
Yes, I have tried to contact Ron numerous times, for networking and perhaps a podcast, and have never heard back.
