Great documentaries on Netflix: 1. Who the #$&% is Jackson Pollock? - A trucker buys a painting for $5 at a thrift store and becomes convinced that it's a lost piece by Jackson Pollock worth millions. The art world dismisses her as a crackpot, but forensic researchers take a look at the painting and reach other conclusions... 2. Champion - Interviews with actor Danny Trejo (Desperado, From Dusk 'til Dawn, Con Air, voice of the Cuban guy in GTA:Vice City) about his criminal past and how he got his life together. The guy was using heroin before he was in his teens. Fascinating story, and a really cool guy. 3. Man on Wire - Story of a tightrope walker who strung a wire between the two World Trade Center towers and walked across it. Mind you, this was completely illegal and done without any authorities or building officials knowing about it. And it was done in the late 1970s, without any computer-aided research or cell phones. 4. Confessions of a Superhero - In Hollywood, there are scores of hard-up actors who dress up as superheroes and pose for pictures with tourists, hoping to make money off of tips. This film follows 4 of them and explores their life stories. 5.The Business of Being Born - Explores the increasing commodification of hospital births and the effects on the health of mothers and babies. 6. Bigger, Stronger, Faster - An in-depth history and analysis of steroid abuse by a former athlete (and steroid user)
