Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Out of Thin Air (2017)

This documentary concerns the disappearances of two men from the same small Icelandic community and those who served time for the supposed crimes. Though all six confessed to either killing or aiding with body disposal (sometimes changing their stories), they did so only after intense pressure tactics from the police and, even then, their confessions did not match.

It's a film that should inspire outrage, but it's too blandly presented to result in viewer emotion of that caliber. It's as though the filmmaker was only interested in providing the information rather than trying to make it flow into a compelling story.
