Ask HN: What's the most inspiring media you've consumed in the last 5 years?

1•hashim•56m ago
Almost 5 years ago I asked about technically-inspiring media - movies, shows and documentaries that help you summon the constant motivation needed to single-handedly build a web app or bootstrap a startup. Alternatively, media that isn't technical but captures the other skills needed to build something to profitability, like sales or persistence, e.g. The Pursuit of Happyness.

So as not to repeat the common results of the other thread, this time I'm asking about media released in the last 5 years, but in almost any form you can think of.
