Why it works

A documentary offers the depth of a long read with less effort — sustained exposure to one topic, one perspective, one hour. It's the inverse of scrolling: one narrative, beginning to end.

Best for

•Evenings when a movie feels too much but nothing else is appealing
•A lazy Sunday

Variations

•Pick one about a topic you know nothing about — the learning value is higher than 'another sports documentary'.
•Watch with subtitles on; retention improves significantly.
