So I just finished Into the Deep: The Submarine Murder. What started as a film about Peter Madsen and his exploration into space ended up becoming an expose about the murder of journalist Kim Wall and the aftermath of Madsens team learning the truth about what actually happened. I loved the concept so I’m curious about other documentaries that started off being about one subject and evolving/devolving into something completely different.

Thanks in advance!

This documentary follows Jack Garbarino, known for his role in the Nathan For You episode, “The Movement,” where Nathan Fielder helped him create a fake fitness book based on moving furniture instead of going to the gym. Beyond his viral appearance, Jack’s real-life story takes unexpected turns—exploring his background as an immigrant from the Dominican Republic, his deep belief in the American Dream, and his outspoken support for Donald Trump. The film examines his life after the show and the ways his public persona evolved beyond comedy.

I love documentaries but 99% are shock/crime/doom, or "look how weird this is" stuff.

Can you recommend any positive/good news documentaries? Preferably about people making a difference in the world and not just cute bunnies and puppies kinda stuff.
