It might not be one of the best documentaries, but I really enjoyed Fog of War. It focuses on and consists of interviews with former US Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. He was one of the main strategic leads of the Vietnam War, and worked with Kennedy and LBJ before retiring. While it certainly dives into his time directing the war, it also details his upbringing, time in WWII, etc. I really appreciate it for McNamara's rather frank outlook on his time during the Cold War era, and for how relevant his "lessons" were contrasted against the Iraq War buildup and execution (the documentary released in 2003). I think those lessons might still be relevant now, really.
Unfortunately I don't believe it's on any streaming service that I can think of, sorry.
