Netflix documentaries have become a genre unto themselves — slick, accessible, and often deeply affecting. But beyond the headlines and the trending page, there are documentaries that deserve far more attention than they receive.

Our selection this month includes a meditation on memory and loss that will stay with you for weeks, a investigation into the global coffee trade that reveals uncomfortable truths, and a portrait of an Indian artist whose work challenges everything we think we know about contemporary art.

These are films that do what the best documentaries always do — they make you see the world differently.
