Any good documentaries?
MORE THAN A GAME: Doco about Lebron James' High School Basketball team in his last 4 years of HS...highly recommended even if you don't like basketball or Lebron James. BIG RIVER MAN: About a unassuming overweight middle-aged European man who is one of best endurance swimmers in the world who has swam the length of the Danube River (Europe), Yangtze River (China) & Mississippi River (USA) and is about to embark on swimming the dangerous waters of the Amazon. Love this one. :) ANVIL: Doco about an influential Canadian 80's Metal Band who never succeeded in mainstream music and their journey back to make it in the big time in todays world. I'm a massive Doco-holic & have seen most of what people are suggesting here like KING OF KONG, BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE, etc....all good one's to choose from. Good luck with your selection. :)

Are there any good documentaries about parenting?
As a father of 3, I am also interested in this.As an avid consumer of documentaries, though, I haven’t heard about such a thing. And even if such thing existed, it would be extremely biased, as parenting is no straight-forward science :)There are some bits you can watch, but I wouldn’t call them exactly “parenting” documentaries:How To Help Every Child Fulfil Their Potential - RSADo Schools Kill Creativity (Ken Robinson) - TEDSurviving:) The Teenage BrainSchool - Dream the Future
Any good documentaries on youtube?
Yesterday I asked the same question. I started looking and watched a few cool shows on YouTube. Scared Straight - troubled teens are taken to local prisons to see how tough they are. The prisoners scare the crap out of them. The original was filmed in the late 70's and they even have a 20 year update on the teens and prisoners. Beyond Scared Straight- same thing, but a newer version filmed just last year. Celebrity Ghost Stories- celebrities telling their paranormal experiences. I Survived - my favorite show ever!! Found a bunch of episodes on YouTube. True stories about people surviving the unthinkable. Plus, when I watched these, many other shows popped up afterward. Kept me busy for hours.
Are there any good documentaries on modern slavery?
PBS/Frontline has a number, e.g. Inside the Hidden Reality of Labor Trafficking in America You can google others from them
Are there any good documentaries about topics under the scope of biochemistry - genes, biotechnology etc...?
The best source in such a restricted field is probably short videos available on YouTube. I'd look into videos done by ThunderF00t, c0nc0rdance, cdk007, all of whom are in microbio or close.
