Docs to Watch: Rockers, Rescuers and Reopening a Cold Case No images? [Click here]( ID=167008;size=600x111;setID=523775;uid={EMAIL}5714607;click=docs_to_watch_top [- - -] [TheWrap - SUMMER TV WATCH LIST] Week of November 22-28 They were once the domain of newsreel and nature videos, but documentaries today are so hip that the viewing public can barely keep up. TheWrap’s Docs to Watch is our heads-up about the best ones currently available – a crop this week that includes tales of a lost woman, rescued children, and an imprisoned king. [- - -] [Premiere of the week] “Dig Deeper: The Disappearance of Birgit Meier” (Netflix, debuts Nov. 26) [Dig Deeper - Netflix screengrab] Source: Netflix In 1989, a 41-year-old woman named Birgit Meier vanished from her home in Lüneburg, Germany. Her estranged husband was suspected, as was the possibility that she’d taken her own life. But the strange, grim truth, uprooted over many years by Birgit’s policeman brother, finally comes to light in this chilling German-language mood piece about the long path to justice. [[TRAILER](] [- - -] [Premiere of the week] “Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time” (in theaters and on streaming platforms now) [Kurt Vonnegut Unstuck in Time] Photo: IFC Films “Listen: Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time,” so reads the beginning of Kurt Vonnegut’s landmark “Slaughterhouse-Five.” And this first-ever movie on the writer-raconteur is an overview of his multi-faceted life and career, but with an added personal touch. That’s thanks to director Robert B. Weide (“Curb Your Enthusiasm”), who met Vonnegut decades ago and maintained a close friendship until the author’s 2007 death. So it goes. [[TRAILER](] ID=167008;size=300x250;setID=523778;uid={EMAIL}5714607;click=docs_to_watch_medium [- - -] [Premiere of the week] “The Rescue”(in select theaters now) [The Rescue 2021] Photo: National Geographic Even if you’ve heard about the 2018 cave rescue of a dozen boys in Thailand, this intense docu-thriller contains as many twists and turns as the cave system where its action takes place. (Why, you’ll ask, is an anesthesiologist from Australia part of this story?) The Oscar-winning directors of “Free Solo” ratchet up the tension through real footage and reenactments, celebrating a feat that needs to be seen to be believed. [[REVIEW](] [- - -] [Premiere of the week] “The Velvet Underground”(AppleTV+, streaming now) [The Velvet Underground,] Photo: AppleTV+ Todd Haynes has made fictional movies about music icons Bob Dylan (“I’m Not There”) and David Bowie (“Velvet Goldmine”), but here he goes full pumped-up doc to tell the 1960s story of Lou Reed, Andy Warhol, John Cale and their gang of rock rebels. Haynes splits the screen into a découpage of vibrant images, while including countless quiet, touching memories from those who were there. [[REVIEW](] [- - -] [Premiere of the week] “Tiger King 2”(Netflix, streaming now) [A shot of Joe Exotic from ] Photo: Netflix Joe Exotic strikes back. Did he ever really go away? The sequel to the wildest pandemic binge of 2020 delivers another truckload of fresh meat. Joe remains incarcerated in prison and his nemesis Carole Baskin refused to participate this time, but there’s still a lot in these five episodes to feast on. Highlights include an update on Baskin’s long-missing husband and an ironic COVID-related reason to explain why President Donald Trump neglected to pardon Joe before he left office. [[PREVIEW](] [- - -] [Premiere of the week] “The First Wave” (in select theaters and streaming on Hulu starting Dec. 5) This portrait of a New York City medical center in the spring of 2020 is an essential, cathartic and uplifting look at the warlike condition of COVID hospitalizations. [[REVIEW](] “A Crime on the Bayou” (streaming platforms) John Legend executive produced this examination of the wrongful arrest of a Black teenager in 1966 and the civil rights lawyer who fought for justice. [[TRAILER](] “Boris Karloff: The Man Behind the Monster” (streaming platforms) Directors Guillermo del Toro, Joe Dante and others rave about why the actor best known for 1931’s “Frankenstein” is such a towering influence on movies today.
