For about as long as it has existed, HBO has been home to some of the best documentaries around. From classics like Paradise Lost to more modern offerings like Pee-wee as Himself, the premium cable outlet has put out countless highly decorated documentaries. That trend continued when The Alabama Solution found its way to the 2025 movie schedule in early October.
The documentary, which has a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, comes from the team behind The Jinx, the multi-part docuseries about Robert Durst, who found a unique and harrowing way to expose injustices and raise awareness about what’s going on within the Alabama Department of Corrections. A must-watch, this riveting film makes a strong case for the importance of documentaries in today’s society.
