Viaplay is best known as the streaming service for sports enthusiasts, but did you know that the service also has a nice selection of documentaries? We’ve listed the best five for you.
The Mighty Atom
If you thought you were strong, you will probably think differently after watching this documentary. The Mighty Atom shows the true story of Joseph Greenstein (1893 – 1977), who became the strongest man in the world at 1.70 meters. He was so strong that he could bend steel with his hands, bite through an iron nail and even stop an airplane with his hair.

Curious what science was doing in 2020? Of course, the corona pandemic played a major role, but science was also busy with other things. Top Science Stories of 2020 shows grim warnings about the future of our planet, but above all technological triumphs and the promise that we can somehow overcome all obstacles.
polar bears

Mathematics
Are you good at math? Probably not as good as Arthur Benjamin, the main character of the Mathemagics documentary. Benjamin doesn’t need pen and paper or a calculator: he does it all in his head. He combines this mathematical ability with magic in his ‘Mathemagics’ performances.
Hidden Japan
Japan is still closed to tourists due to corona. Fortunately, through the documentary Hidden Japan we can still travel through the land of the rising sun. The documentary mainly focuses on nature. For example, did you know that more than 130 mammals and 600 bird species live in Japan?
