Best Documentary Movies With Kids From The 2010S That Will Make You Cry

These documentary picks were hand-selected for watching with kids, not pulled from a popularity chart. Every pick is chosen for emotional and situational fit, not streaming popularity or critic scores.

The best documentary movies with kids from the 2010s that will make you cry. Includes Hot Girls Wanted and more - curated by Moviepiq.

Watching a film with kids means finding something that works on two levels - holding their attention completely while giving you something worth watching too.

The 2010s were defined by a wave of filmmakers who understood that the best genre films work on multiple levels simultaneously.

Documentaries work when they trust their subjects. The best ones get out of the way and let reality speak.

2015 · ★★★☆☆ 6.1/10

A first-ever look at the realities of the professional "amateur" porn world and the steady stream of 18-to-19-year old girls entering into it.

A film earns your tears by making you believe in its characters first. These films do that work thoroughly, then use it.

A great documentary is one you find yourself thinking about weeks later. These qualify.
