Recommendation request: don’t break my heart, don’t freak me out

I just watched the Bill Cunningham documentary. Bill was a style photographer for the New York Times for 40 years. He seemed to be a kind, private person and was definitely the best kind of weirdo. . The documentary was an act of love and respect. Anything like that?

I have no interest in grisly murders, although I do like a good heist story.

Also, anything where the city is seemingly a character on its own, either as subject matter or as a necessary setting.

Recommendation request: documentaries about the legal system that are NOT about a murder case

Looking for good documentaries about the legal system that are not about a murder case. Especially films that address plea bargains, incompetency to stand trial, mental health in the legal system. Thank you!

Recommendation request or help finding a specific doc about COLOURS

This is a Recommendation Request

I don't know if this is allowed here, if not sorry and go ahead and delete it. Also, sorry for any mistakes, English is not my first language.

I'm looking for a specific documentary I watched years ago about the science of colours, how they are perceived and how they influence our lives.

I remember some parts of it:

Interview with an artist who only sees in tones of grey and how she navigates that (I remember her telling that her favourite tone of grey was related to yellow)

how people from other parts of the world see colours differently (a tribe in Africa has lots of words for what for us would only be light green and none for pink)

tests to see if the colour you are wearing influence outcomes in sports (blue players vrs red)

a test to see if the colours of your surroundings influence our perspective of the passing of time

These are some examples that I remember. O really loved that documentary and never forgot about it but was never able to find it again. I'm hoping someone watched it too, or can give me good recommendations of similar ones.

thank you in advance

Recommendation Request: Looking For An Old Documentary About Rock and Roll History

When I was younger my grandma had this documentary on video tape (I'm unsure if she taped it from the TV or it was a documentary she owned) about Rock and Roll. I can't remember if it was from the late 1980's of 1990's. It had clips of parents from the 50's talking about how Rock and Roll was ruining it's youth, there was a clip of someone talking about juvenile delinquency and then the next scene shows Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers singing "I'm Not a Juvenile Delinquent", it talked about the plane crash that tragically killed Richie Valens, The Big Bopper and Buddy Holly, it mentioned the disc jockey, Alan Freed, and it also included these people & singers and there were clips of many of them: Elvis Presley, Muddy Waters singing "Got My Mojo Workin", Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, The Big Bopper, Chuck Berry, Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps singing "Be Bop A Lula", Little Richard, Fats Domino singing "Ain't That A Shame", Danny and the Juniors singing "At The Hop", The Everly Brothers, The Ronettes, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Jackson 5 on The Ed Sullivan Show singing "Who's Loving You", The Beatles, Ed Sullivan and I am sure there are more I can't remember, I was about 10/12 years at the time.

I remember how much I loved that documentary. I watched it so many times, and I hate that I can't remember the name of it. I was really hoping Rock and Roll: The Early Days from 1984 was the documentary I was looking for, but it wasn't sadly. I did however, really like that one. It also wasn't that 10 episode series that came out in 1995. If I remember correctly, this documentary was around an hour to two hours long. If anyone knows the documentary I am talking about I would love to know what it's called, or if someone doesn't know then a recommendation for another rock and roll documentary similar to the one I described would be great. Thanks in advance for anyone that takes the time to read this and may be able to help me find this treasure from my childhood!!!
