Recommendation Request Recommendation Request: Documentaries like Cabale à Kaboul (2006) [1:26:33]?
Just found this documentary today and its really good, now i've been searching for the last few hours about a documentary of this caliber but couldn't find anything, Its about the last two Jews in Kabul, one is a black magic sorcerer and the other is a wine maker/seller (Yes, a wine maker/seller in Afghanistan). The banter, the lying, the trickery and its really funny in general. You just don't know who's telling the truth and who lies. Very interesting characters too. I swear there's a scene in the documentary that i think is a trick of the other guy like sending a random dude to pretend as your enemy's son kind of shit. Or writing a fake letter asking for his sister's bank account. Its one of the best documentaries i had ever watched.
I like these kind of Raw documentaries where you the viewer will come to your own conclusions rather than it being fed to you. Any recommendations? preferably a funny one with lies and deceit with interesting characters.

Recommendation Request Recommendation Request: Looking for two older documentaries about tigers/elephants.(90's)
Hello all.
I am looking for two documentaries, both are from around the 90's. I've struggled to find clips, and i only vaguely remember a few scenes from each.
The first one was a 90's documentary featuring African elephants. There was a scene in this one where a baby elephant gets lost in a herd of buffalo, and is crying in distress. The mother(or one of the females from the herd) has enough, and charges into the pack and parts them like a sea to get to the baby. One unfortunate buffalo gets Yeeted int the air by a single trunk strike from this female elephant.(I;ve been dying to show this specific scene to my co-worker, to show them just how strong an elephant is with its trunk only)
The Second one was also a 90's piece, and it appeared during Big Cat week sometime in the 90's.(sorry my memory is bad, i wish i could remember more) This particular documentary is based or focused on tigers. The key things i can recall of this one was that it starts out in Siberia. At some point it shows a tiger hunting/killing a snake, a cobra if I'm not mistaken? and towards the end, it also shows another tiger hunting/killing a buffalo.
I would really like to find these two specific documentaries, but am open to any suggestions that can depict or show simmilar scenarios. TY in advance for reading, and any suggestions!

Recommendation Request Recommendation request: doc about undersea cable repair?
I'm looking for a documentary about undersea cable repair, but after searching for 20minutes I can't find any.
To be clear: I'm not looking for a video essay about undersea cables by some random youtuber. I want a proper doc about the process of repairing an undersea cable (it can be an electrical, fiber, or telecommunications cable)
