Netflix has released a flurry of trailers for upcoming documentaries and docuseries in the past couple of days.

Here are some of the upcoming non-fiction titles on Netflix that you'll be able to watch in July.
Art of Incarceration
Written, directed and produced by Alex Siddons, this Netflix documentary delves into the over-representation of indigenous Australians in the prison system.

The documentary provides an insight into Australia's deeply embedded incarceration epidemic and offers hope. It also features previous inmates, including a former champion fighter who reunited with his passion for art while serving a six-and-a-half-year term for drug trafficking. Art of Incarceration is set to release on July 3.

D.B. Cooper: Where Are You?!
Netflix has picked up a docuseries titled D.B. Cooper: Where Are You?! from Fulwell 73 Productions that will shed some light, and maybe some fresh evidence, on one of history's greatest mysteries – the case of D.B. Cooper. Marina Zenovich, who directed The Way Down, is directing the series. Blake Neely, an Emmy Award-winning composer, is composing the music for the true-crime docuseries.
The story of one of the greatest unsolved heists dates back to 1971 when a guy aboard a passenger plane took control of the flight and made his way off the plane and into the air with $200,000 in cash. D.B. Cooper was never seen again, as he vanished into the sky with a large sum of money and his true identity. The docuseries will be available on Netflix from July 13.
