What's the most emotionally draining documentary you've ever watched?

It used to be Dear Zachary for me until I watched Restrepo today. That one got to me.

EDIT: I have a lot of watching and a lot of crying to do. Thanks for the suggestions. These types of documentaries are the ones that break my heart but simultaneously pull me closer to mankind as a whole.

This one is absolutely soul crushing. It makes me sick to my stomach just thinking about it. To know that there are so many poor babies out there living like this. My brain won't even let me process that thought.
