For me it's gotta be something from ARTE (the French/German culture television channel). Either it's the one about Chodorowskis weird Dune project or the three-part series about the history of racism. Both were extremely well-made documentaries.

three-part series about the history of racism

That sounds interesting, but I couldn't find it. Do you have a link, or a title?

I can reommend "Encounters at the End of the World" by Werner Herzog, it's about researchers in Antarctica and what motivates them to be there. So many interesting people, and it gets a bit philosophical.

I am not entirely sure. I just searched a bit for it. I only found one in human zoos that was also really interesting. Also another one about the general topic but it's from a 4 part series on a short history of slavery. Technically a small part of this series is about the emergence of modern racism as a cultural institution to justify the realised oppression due to slavery.
