Alma Matters: Inside the IIT Dream (2021)
Partial, well-hashed truth about IITs

While the series is certainly well-made, there's nothing about the actual dark side of IITs: ragging in hostels, pervasive substance abuse, and instances of caste discrimination (something that wasn't even brought up during the discussion about the reasons behind student suicides). By not touching on these issues at all, Alma Matters ultimately only tells a partial, well-hashed truth about IITs, one that arguably has already been covered by movies like 3 Idiots.
Worth a watch though, it will definitely make you feel nostalgic about your IIT days.
