From the last four years: (I'm a professional critic, thus watch almost everything)
1. Gunda. A mother pig.
2. An insignificant man. Politics in India.
3. Mr Bachmann and his class. A teacher.
4. Icarus. The doping scandal.
All time:

Colectiv and Gunda.
Before Colectiv I knew from first hand experience the shocking amount of corruption in Romanian healthcare, but this was another level. And the movie helped.
Gunda was the most beautiful and most shocking movie of the year. Far more powerful than Smith's "Meat is Murder". I had no idea.

The article mentions a series of movies that similarly make clear the potential depth and richness of animal lives, like My Octopus Teacher, or Jane. For anyone interested in similar stories, or resonated with the message of the article, I’d recommend Gunda, a new documentary about the life of a pig on a Scandinavian farm.
