I have mentioned Paul Sinclair of the 'Truth Proof' books on this forum a few times:

https://truthproof.uk

Paul is a 'traditional' hands-on researcher who set out investigating strange lights seen off the Yorkshire coast and then found himself drawn into all manner of high strangeness from north and east Yorkshire including werewolves, dogmen and CE3s in addition to unidentified craft seen in the skies. This is also the home of the legendary Flixton werewolf:

Perhaps not so 'legendary' as Paul has interviewed new witnesses and links these modern-day encounters with the names and folklore of the area, for example there are multiple places that have the Norse and old English variations of 'wolf' within them.

I have read all but one of his books and listened to him on 'Mysteries and Monsters' podcasts, for example:

I personally believe Paul is honest in that he believes what he has witnessed and what others have told him first-hand. His podcast manner can however become rather intense...! Anyway, he has been working on a soon to be released documentary 'Wolflands' that will include witnesses going on the record to describe encounters with poltergeist activity, Ufos, werwolves and all manner of high-strangeness. He talks about this upcoming documentary here:

Satan Wants You tells the untold story of how the Satanic Panic of the 1980s was ignited by "Michelle Remembers", a lurid memoir by psychiatrist Larry Pazder and his patient Michelle Smith. Supported by the Catholic Church, the bestselling book relied on recovered-memory therapy to uncover Michelle’s childhood abduction by baby-stealing Satanists. Amplified by law enforcement and America’s Daytime TV boom, satanic rumors spread through panic-stricken communities across the world, leaving a wave of destruction and wrongful convictions in their wake. This film digs deep into the roots of moral panics and cult conspiracies, showing how these events still affect and distort our reality today. Directed by Sean Horlor and Steve J. Adams.

I'm not certain that this comes under the tern 'Fortean Documentary' but it's a great watch. A short film on the special effects of the original 1933 King Kong movie.
Kong was after all a monster of sorts if not a cryptid.

The Occult Experience from 1985:

 

[skinny]

I can only handle this a bit at a time. It is a real warp of the mind - the utter indifference of the everything else in the universe regarding wee humanity; the closeness of our species’; the brute truth of the jungle - it is not a romantic scene. Very powerful television.

Deep in the jungle of Central Vietnam, lies a magnificent underground kingdom.

Hang Son Doong which translates as “mountain river cave”, is the largest cave passage in the world and a place of spectacular beauty.

With more people having climbed Everest than visited Son Doong, its pristine charm has remained undisturbed for millions of years.

In 2014, Son Doong’s future was thrown into doubt when plans were announced to build a cable car into the cave.

With many arguing that this would destroy its delicate eco-system and the local community divided over the benefits this development would bring, the film follows those caught up in the unfolding events.

Beautifully shot and scored, “A Crack In The Mountain” is a powerful exposé about how both good and bad intentions can ultimately lead to one of the world’s greatest natural wonders being trampled for money. As well as inspire those who care about our natural heritage to fight to protect it.
