For fans of non-fiction, here are nine documentaries to watch right now.
1. Top Gear seasons 14-22
Picture: SUPPLIED/BBC
Join Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May in this much-loved show for petrol heads. The long-running series sees ordinary and extraordinary cars put to the test, ridiculous challenges and a host of celebrity guests.
Is there a vast conspiracy using war and chaos to create a single world government? This provocative movie goes where no others dare, giving a fresh perspective on the events of the past few decades for a new truth.
The world is in trouble, but it's not too late to do something. Following on from the first iconoclastic documentary, this next Zeitgeist chapter asks how we can still change our planet to be a better place for everyone.
The way our societies work, governed by banking, greed and power, is going to destroy humanity. But there is another way, a radical change to how we can all live together. Find out how in the final movie of the Zeitgeist trilogy.
Discover the secret lives of big cats in this beautiful nature documentary that travels the globe to profile lions, cheetahs, leopards, pumas and more of the planet’s most amazing felines.
This is the stunning sequel to the award-winning show The Blue Planet, narrated by Sir David Attenborough. New technology and filming techniques reveal even more astonishing underwater secrets.
Controversial, loathed and even seen as dangerous, many people recoil in confusion when they hear of furries. But what is this subculture really about? Delve into the topic that has a surprising amount of heart.
8. Soundtracks: Songs That Defined History season 1
Picture: SUPPLIED/FREMANTLE
Music has been a big part of celebrations and revolutions, tragedy and triumph. This incredible series goes back to those moments and the songs that helped define them. Full of great songs and interviews, this'll get you moving.
Stand-up master George Lopez steps up in this HBO comedy special, originally broadcast live. With no safety nets, Lopez lays it out: from Donald Trump to his family, the jokes never stop for an epic hour of comedy.
Once the three months’ free subscription to Showmax has expired, Vodacom customers will pay R49 per month for Showmax for the following nine months instead of the full price of R99 per month.
There’s no contract or lock-in period - you can cancel Showmax at any time before the promotion ends and you will not be billed.
