They don't necessarily have to be leftist or about leftist history, but preferably things without Western/Imperialist white-washing. I'm usually hesitant to go looking for history docs in the main stream (netflix, hulu, etc) since they're just propaganda half the time. I have a big interest in civilizations and sociology.

Mario Sousa on Robert Conquest and his lies (I know I know, almost everyone knows Robert Conquest worked for an antiCommunist division of the British secret services whose sole purpose was to churn out lies about the Ussr but it's still fascinating to watch him dismantle Conquests utter bullshit and how the intelligence services mainstream propagandist 'historians' like Robert Conquest was back in the 70s 80s)
