3 New Netflix Documentaries That Will Challenge Your Thinking

Netflix announced its April documentary slate featuring three compelling releases that explore child influencers, domestic terrorism, and culinary icons.

The streaming giant continues its tradition of thought-provoking documentary content with releases examining social media exploitation, historical tragedy, and celebrated chefs.

Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing examines the growing phenomenon of child influencers and the ethical concerns surrounding their online presence. The documentary investigates the pressures faced by young content creators, exploring issues of parental control, exploitation, and the commercialization of childhood. Following in the footsteps of previous Netflix releases like The Social Dilemma, this documentary offers critical analysis of digital media’s impact on vulnerable populations.

The platform will also release Oklahoma City Bombing: American Terror, a detailed examination of the 1995 domestic terrorist attack that claimed 168 lives.

The documentary provides an intimate look at victims and perpetrators while analyzing how the tragedy reshaped America’s understanding of domestic extremism. It explores the motivations behind the attack and its lasting impact on national security approaches.

Rounding out the April offerings, Chef’s Table: Legends marks the 10th anniversary of the acclaimed culinary documentary series.

This four-episode installment profiles culinary innovators who have transformed the food world, including Jamie Oliver, José Andrés, Alice Waters, and Thomas Keller. The series delves into their personal journeys, philosophies, and lasting influence on global cuisine.

Each chef’s segment explores their creative process and the challenges they’ve overcome to achieve legendary status in the culinary arts.

All three documentaries will be available for streaming throughout April, continuing Netflix’s commitment to diverse documentary programming that examines complex social issues, historical events, and cultural phenomena.
