Sometimes all you need to do is watch a good old-fashioned documentary.
We love telly here but sometimes you can’t beat some real-life stories that leave you at the edge of your seat.
Take a look at these three documentaries that you need to check out!
Shiny Happy People: A Teenage Holy War
Shiny Happy People returns for a second season after delving into the Duggar family for its debut. The family rose to fame after appearing on 19 Kids and Counting on TLC, however, they were not the picture-perfect family behind closed doors.
The second season focuses on “Teen Mania” from the 1990s.
Teen Mania captivated a generation of fervent evangelical Millennial kids with adrenaline-fueled, ecstatic religious experiences through “Acquire the Fire” rallies. But beneath the glittering surface lurked sadistic boot camps, staged martyrdom drills, and fascism disguised as faith – transforming innocent teens into fanatical soldiers, with devastating consequences still unfolding today.

Amy Bradley Is Missing
On March 23, 1998, 23-year-old Amy Bradley disappeared without a trace from the cruise ship she and her family were holidaying.
Despite thorough searches of the ship, Amy is nowhere to be found and the cruise has already docked in their next port, Curaçao, opening the door for 2400 passengers to explore the island and allowing Amy to potentially disappear into the crowd. Hours later, Amy is still nowhere to be found and fear sets in that Amy may have fallen overboard before port. But a body is never discovered.
The search for Amy expands as the FBI and local authorities launch an investigation where everyone becomes a potential suspect. As the years pass by, possible sightings of Amy pop up in various locations from multiple people. Is it really her? Was this a tragic accident or a crime? – anything is possible. But for Amy’s family – only one thing matters: bringing their daughter home alive.
