I would say this one. "Unmasking Jack the Ripper" available on YouTube, and 1 other 1 are the best 3 I'd recommend for anyone who hasn't seen them & is interested in viewing a documentary on a the subject. Sadly, that 1 other one, I can't find anywhere and I really would like to see it again. Sometimes watching something a second time, one might see something the missed, or remember something they've forgotten. Mary Kelly is actually played by an actress & Jack the Ripper is actually played by a male actor. And they discuss mention a person having to do with Mary Kelly that some of the other docs omit. I really don't think I laid down any spoilers there, but maybe somebody recognizes that 3rd documentary I'm talking about because I really recommend it. That documentary also seems to not only tells the story quite well, including re-enactments, but also has some medical professionals who give insight into the mind a little bit. Drives me mad I can't think of it. But "unmasking Jack the Ripper" and again this one, I do recall the names of, and highly recommend both. Hopefully someone at a later date might be able to recognize the last doc where Mary Kelly is played by a red head, and after denying Hutchinson, seems really excited over the prospects of earning a "crown". Again, that's not this documentary, but another. This & the unmasking documentaries have commentary from Richard Jones who I just think is one of the best Ripperologists in the biz. There's also the Holmes documentary, Ripper in America I believe, "The Diary of Jack THE Ripper", Murder Maps, Crimes throughout History has an episode, "Jack the Rippers London" and a few others. Many can be found on streaming services and or YouTube. So for those who really would like multiple sources, those are worth a look. But again, the 2 I mentioned that I know, and 1 I alluded to that I can't remember title of, are the 3 I'd start with, and if you're only interested in 1, I'd pick 1 of those 3. Sry, for long post, but felt need to include everything.
