As an avid documentary watcher I’ve seen my fair share of weird and freakish stories. So when I was sitting with a friend and he said, “lets watch one that’ll just make us be like wtf,” I thought why not share the madness? Here are ten crazy Netflix documentaries for your spare time.

1. “Inside the American Mob”

This is a 6 episode series that delves into the dark world of the American mafia when it was in its prime. You’ll get to have detailed looks into the lives of ex-mafia members turned witness protection and program and the FBI agents that infiltrated the infamous mob. Prepare to witness the rise-- and fall-- of the American mob.

2. “Propaganda Game”

An eerie look into the hidden world that is North Korea, as seen by one of the few people ever allowed to film inside the countries border- from the capital city. Skate parks, towering statues, and cushy government paid for homes? Do you buy it?

3. “Erasing Hate”

Does anyone really ever change? One man lead a life of hate and discrimination and is ready to take it all back-- but the white power tattoos covering his face might make that difficult.

4. “Holy Hell”

The stories of ex-members of the “Buddha Field” cult, and how their home away from home became a terrifying circle of secrets and lies. See how normal people were sucked into an underground world of secrecy and cover-ups and meet the man responsible for it all.

5. “talhotblond”

An online love-triangle gone horribly wrong. One of them is dead and one is in jail-- and that’s not even the crazy part.

6. “1971”

If you thought Edward Snowden was the first to care about our “Big Brother” here in the states then you are very wrong. Get ready to meet the group of ordinary citizens who, in 1971, broke into an FBI office stole every file in sight, evaded arrest, and exposed federal secrets. They’re just like you and me, but man do they have guts.

7. “The Barkley Marathons”

Honestly, I could try and explain to you what the heck is going on in Wartburg, Tennessee, but just know that this race is called, “the race that eats its young.” Trust me you have to meet the man behind this for yourself.

8. “Tabloid"

Prepare to meet Joyce Mckinney: former beauty queen, certified genius, world-renowned Mormon “kidnapper” (depending who you ask), and owner of the world’s first commercially cloned dogs.

9. “Meet the Patels”

Think your parents are overbearing? Think again because unless you’ve met these parents you have no idea. A young American-Indian man decides to let his eccentric parents take the reigns in his love life for one year. Dating will never seem the same.

10. “Sugar-Coated”

Get ready to have everything you ever heard about sugar changed for good. This eye-opening documentary reveals the secrecy and propaganda that entrench the sugar industry. Word of advice: go ahead and make the dentist appointment to have your sweet tooth removed.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
