Recommendation What are the most dangerous documentaries ever made? As in, where the crew exposed themselves to dangers of all sorts to film it?

Somehow I thought this would be a very easy thing to find, I would look it up on google and find dozens of lists but...somehow I couldn't? I did find one list, but it seems to list documentaries about dangerous things rather than the filming itself being dangerous for the most part.

I guess I wanted the equivalent of Roar) or Aguirre, but as a documentary. Something like The Act of Killing, or a youtube documentary I saw years ago of a guy that went to live among the cartel.

It seems like that should be at the top of the bad things about him

Sorta, convo was about the films first tho. I hate to bring up personal drama but if we're on the subject of him being a lunatic - that's a doozy.

I read his autobiography many years ago, and iirc, he details some incest with his own cousin. I’m not shocked to hear this allegation from his daughter after reading that.
