Every metorite fall (that we know of) since 2300 BC on an interactive map

That's actually just a screenshot because a link to the page just gives you a boring looking text link.

High-Resolution Stereo Camera nadir and colour channel data taken during revolution…

High-Resolution Stereo Camera nadir and colour channel data taken during revolution 11497 on 13 January 2013 by ESA’s Mars Express have been combined to form a natural-colour view of the region southeast of Amenthes Planum and north of Hesperia Planum.  The region imaged, which lies to the west of Tinto Vallis and Palos crater, is centred at around 3°S and 109°E, and has a ground resolution of about 22 m per pixel. The image features craters, lava channels and a valley from which water may have once flowed. Dark wind-blown sediments fill the valleys and the floors of the craters.

I'm currently milling around an idea

I'm tentatively staking out the position that I don't like documentary movies for learning about … anything.

I don't have any research to back this up, but my default position is going to be that audio and visual methods of conveying a message are more able to tweak your heartstrings than the written word.  This, combined with low information content compared to text, means you're gathering information about fast food or Monsanto or 9/11 or whatever cause célèbre in the medium with the worst ratio of actionable information to ability-to-bypass-your-critical-thinking-centers.

In other words…documentary movies are effective propaganda.
