Just wondering which documentaries you've watched with your kids. My girls (10 and 7) enjoyed On The Way to School so much (about 4 families and how far the kids go to get to school each day, on their own) that they also watched a documentary on fast fashion / the environmental impact of the clothes industry on 3rd world nations, which they really enjoyed. These documentaries helped to open their eyes to what conditions are like in other nations. They've also watched Super Size Me (not on Netflix) and were really interested.
Looking for other documentaries you've watched on Netflix that might be appropriate for kids.

Not really a documentary, but my 8 and 10 year old girls like Brain Games.

I think Planet Earth is on Netflix. Those are great.

I'm not sure if it's on Netflix but we just watched the Lego Brickumentary on Prime today and it was fascinating! My five year old got a little bored with it but older kids would probably really enjoy it.

I just watched 6 hours of the Ken Burns docs the West. Very interesting, and lots of conversation topics, like slavery, and the treatment of the native Americans.

I loved On The Way to School too. So good! Does your oldest like sushi or cooking? It isn't a kids documentary but I loved Jiro Dreams of Sushi. We love the Planet Earth ones too. I am not 100% sure what else is on Netflix (or currently) but a few of our favorite have been Wild France, Moose: Life of A Twig Eater, Ocean Mysteries, Rise of the Robots, Check out PBS's Natural Born Hustler too, Making North America, Dogs with Jobs, Birders The Central Park Effect, Yellowstone Battle for Life, Feeding Time and Ride The Divide.

I liked Dogs On The Inside, it's about a program that allows inmates to foster dogs until they can be adopted. I thought it was sweet.
