Good documentaries

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Dark Days- about people living in the NYC subway system. Amazing how adaptive and inventive people can be when needs must.

Taking Liberties- about civil liberties and why you should always be vigilant if you wish to remain free.

Can't think of any more off the top of my head but seeing this thread has put me in the mood for a good documentary later this evening.

There is some intersting stuff around his early life but the later part is just Courtney Love wandering around with her tits out. I thought Soaked In Bleach was a much more interesting documentary - for conspiracy theorists anyway.

Recently watched "Narco Cultura" a very tragic and compelling documentary on the "drug war" in Mexico.

Also, the recent 30x30 "Of Miracles and Men" (which sort of dovetails the superb "Red Army") is another good documentary about USA-Soviet hockey in the 1980s.

The tears that changed football, about the '90 World Cup and I believe in miracles, about Cloughy are two decent footy ones I've watched recently

Watched "The Wolfpack" about a group of brothers who spent their entire lives (ages 12-17 or so) in a Lower East Side apartment in Manhattan; they mostly just watched movies then made very detailed props/costumes/sets to recreate those movies. And looked out the window. And entertained themselves. They are surprisingly well adjusted (relatively speaking) for being shut-ins their entire lives. They all have Hari Krishna names and very long hair. Their dad is sociopathic (it goes without saying) and their mom seems nice but controlled by their dad. Finally, they just leave and go outside and find a whole other world outside their apartment. They learn new words like "google" and "like" and "dude". It's very disturbing and also quite touching in the ways that the siblings cope with their inside and new found outside world.

That recent David Attenborough one with the Great Barrier Reef was good. Still on BBC Iplayer I think

Just finished watching Winter On Fire: Ukraine's Fight For Freedom on Netflix and blown away by it. One of the best documentaries I've seen in a while. A truly astonishing piece of filmmaking on what was such a brutal event. Still no happy ending for the Ukrainians though.

The Amy Winehouse one is very good. Gets very dark pretty quickly about half way through when she's properly getting into drink and drugs

Horrible way too die like that,

Yeah it's not nice, she comes across a sound girl who just couldn't handle her fame and went off the rails big time
