How about getting him a subscription to a streaming service like CuriosityStream or DocPlay? These services specialize in documentary films, and he can explore different genres and themes to his heart's content.
Another idea could be to create a personalized documentary viewing experience. Pick out some documentaries that you think he'd enjoy, and then curate a special movie night for the two of you or the whole family. You could even prepare some snacks or a meal to go along with it.
If he enjoys reading, you could also consider getting him a book about a particular documentary or a book by a documentarian he admires, such as "Making a Murderer" by Steven Avery and Riccardo Lombardo or "She's Beautiful When She's Angry" by Mary Dore.
Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
