15 Hidden Documentary Film Gems On Netflix Right Now

15. Chuck Norris Vs. Communism

Chuck Norris Vs. Communism's title has the potential to put a lot of viewers off. Some will disregard it as some sort of low budget action schlock... Others, excited by the prospect of Chuck Norris punching Stalin, will be left disappointed.

But those who look beyond the clickbait title will find a thrilling documentary charting the illegal distribution of Western films across communist Romania in the 1980s; each and every one of them dubbed by just one woman.

At the time, it wasn't just a crime to distribute these films, it was a crime to watch them, but the Romanian public's appetite for Western culture meant the films were shared widely, perhaps contributing in some way to the fall of the regime.

It's a unique and fascinating look at life under a communist dictatorship.
