Hey everyone, I've really been getting into world history lately but one area I'm finding it difficult to find good video resources on is Southeast Asia. The wiki here and on r/history have a lot of book resources but far fewer documentaries.
I'm specifically looking for documentaries because it's the medium I find easiest to learn from (adhd gang). I'm looking for an broad treatment of both peninsular and maritime southeast Asia including cultural and geopolitical history pre- and post-colonisation if possible, presented without bias (so I'm not really interested in "history of vietnam in x minutes" youtube videos). I'm willing to look at both free and paid resources, whether single- or multi-parted.
I know this might be a difficult ask, considering documentaries are produced far less often than books. I really appreciate anyone who takes the time to read and reply to the post. Thank you in advance!
Hi there anyone interested in recommending things to OP! While you might have a title to share, this is still a thread on /r/AskHistorians, and we still want the replies here to be to an /r/AskHistorians standard - presumably, OP would have asked at /r/history or /r/askreddit if they wanted a non-specialist opinion. So give us some indication why the thing you're recommending is valuable, trustworthy, or applicable! Posts that provide no context for why you're recommending a particular podcast/book/novel/documentary/etc, and which aren't backed up by a historian-level knowledge on the accuracy and stance of the piece, will be removed.
