Women have made history many times over and are continuing to make history now. These tales should be recorded and broadcast. There are many crime thriller documentaries and television shows on notorious murder cases and serial killers, but very few about women. In the sea of numerous true crime movies about odd riddles and extremely rare crimes, women-centric films are sometimes overlooked. Among the countless documentaries on influential women who made history, we have selected five for you to binge-watch this weekend.

1. The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes
Marilyn Monroe was an American actress, singer, and model. Her life is the subject of a Netflix documentary. In the 1950s and 1960s, she was hailed as the “sex symbol” and “emblem of the era’s sexual revolution”, in addition to being the highest-paid actor. The death of the icon made front-page news and was ruled to be “probably suicide.” Despite allegations that her death was caused by an accidental drug overdose, the doses of drugs detected in her body were much in excess of the deadly threshold. Through never-before-heard interviews with her closest friends and family, the documentary investigates the mystery surrounding her passing.

2. The Story of Diana
Charles’ first wife was Diana, Princess of Wales, sometimes known as Lady Diana (Prince of Wales). Diana had distinguished herself from the British royal family by becoming a global figure thanks to her advocacy and glitz, which kept tabs on her life constantly. She never held back in interviews, whether it was about her suspected adulterous affair with her husband or her own mental health concerns. Diana was much more closely watched by the media when she and the prince divorced. Diana died in a car accident in August 1997 while evading the paparazzi, which sparked a number of conspiracy theories. This 2017 documentary features interviews with her brother and other family members to examine Diana’s life and personal issues.
