Documentaries on My Watchlist for 2024
Hello friends …and welcome or welcome back.
AFFIRMATION FOR JANUARY
“My time is incredibly expensive.”― The Good Trade
I hope everyone is doing well and staying warm. We are under snow in my part of the world so I hope you get a chance to enjoy it. Otherwise, please take care of your mind and body, get plenty of rest, and don’t forget your greens.
What better way to enjoy some time snowed in than catching a good documentary? Whether they are confirmed facts or part fiction, I find them very informative and give you a lot of information in a compressed amount of time or in parts.
I enjoy a good amount of true crime, and I know that’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Also, I don’t watch anything too heavy because it leaves some residual thoughts (i.e., Night Stalker). I don’t know what I was thinking. But the 80s and 90s, Black History, and music evoke thoughts of nostalgia for me and a “what was I doing then” feeling. Oh, and let’s not forget I 💘 anything about horror movie franchises. (i.e., Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy)
With that …I’m sharing a few documentaries that I’ve seen recently.
and so it goes…
The Devil on Trial (2023)Explore the first – and only – time “demonic possession” has officially been used as a defense in a U.S. murder trial. Including firsthand accounts of alleged devil possession and shocking murder, this extraordinary story forces reflection on our fear of the unknown. |

just recently saw the jolly joseph one. me and my husband were very upset about that and felt so bad for the family! horrible and so sad. devil on trial and war on disco pique my interest, gotta add them to the watchlist!
I’m setting aside some time to watch that one this weekend. I love the documentary style because it is a lot of info but if done well can be really informative.
