Documentaries are the Avocado Team’s go-to when it comes to streaming. At a time when news can feel divisive and overwhelming, documentaries offer connection, depth, and hope through feature-length storytelling.
Now, with so much time to spend indoors, a good list of documentaries is just what we needed. It should come as no surprise that the Avocado Team’s recommendations have a bit of a theme… nature, of course!
