"ILM - Industrial Light & Magic: Creating The Impossible". A documentary about how the special effects team behind Star Wars and other science fiction movies was created. It's basically the story of a start-up, a start-up that could be any Silicon Valley start-up, but because they were in the movie business, they filmed everything. This makes for a great documentary.
It's actually a series. It's in the Star Wars section of Disney+ if you go up there to watch Season 3 of "The Mandalorian".

Worth mentioning that employees of ILM and the vfx industry in general view that film as propaganda to distract from the past decade of labor abuses they endured.
