"A Plastic Ocean" [1] is also a good documentary that deals with how most of the plastic that's used and thrown gets into the oceans and affects people. It touches upon some communities that try to recycle these, much to the detriment of their own health.

I believe the documentary A Plastic Ocean covers a lot for ocean pollution.
For global warming/climate change- An Inconvenient Truth, which is now probably dated.
I saw a great documentary of the impacts of climate change already being seen in Ladakh firsthand: Jungwa: A Broken Balance. It's pretty depressing to see a village running out of water because of the greed of a society they could never comprehend. Instead they pray for hours, thinking their problems that stem from the environment, are evidence of their own sins. Heartbreaking to see the people that will be impacted the most with the least resources to adapt.
There is an interesting documentary regarding the plastic problem in oceans, called [A Plastic Ocean](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zrn4-FfbXw)
A quite good documentary has been made on the effects of plastics, and specifically micro plastics that proliferate the world's oceans. Called "A Plastic Ocean"- https://www.plasticoceans.org/a-plastic-ocean/
After seeing this, I now always think twice about single-use plastics like water bottles and grocery bags.
