Design documentaries you have to see

The documentaries about design they are a great way to learn new concepts, see other perspectives on a topic, or reflect on input from other renowned professionals. They are highly educational, and a good option to see those rain-free afternoons in which the only plan you want is the one known as "blanket and sofa."

From here I encourage you to make a stop, and instead of watching that chapter that you have pending of your favorite series (or the movie of the moment), make a hole for interesting documentaries about design that I have compiled for all of you. If you want another post like this one, with many more documentaries and talks, don't hesitate to ask for it in the comments.
