Yay for documentaries! I always love these threads. This site has a TON of really interesting documentaries: http://documentaryheaven.com/ I recommend checking out Thin (link: http://documentaryheaven.com/thin/) It follows a group of women undergoing inpatient treatment for eating disorders. Really powerful stuff.

N-thing Dear Zachary. It manages to wipe away any shred of faith in humanity or the criminal justice system, but still somehow be uplifting at the end. For content: Banking on Heaven (full video here: http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/banking-on-heaven/) It's not exactly new, but it's a fascinating look at the FLDS church and their polygamist compound in Colorado City. It has some very powerful interviews with a few escapees, including Warren Jeffs' sister. Very interesting and VERY creepy. Check out the website for even more creepy content and background info: http://bankingonheaven.com/

Just watched Paradise Lost about the West Memphis Three. It was very fascinating and well done and I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it yet. The documentary follows the trials of three teenage boys who were accused of killing three younger children. It becomes apparent throughout the film that the boys are innocent and are acting as scapegoats for the religious leaders in the town because they dress differently, listen to Metallica, and supposedly practice Satanism. Pretty sure it was posted already, but here's a link just in case: http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/paradise-lost/ I haven't watched the follow-up documentary about Damien Echols' appeals (also at the link), but I'm very interested to see that as well. Does anyone have any other documentaries about the bullshit surrounding fear of the occult and Satanism? I've always been interested in the Salem Witch Trials and its modern equivalents like the McMartin daycare scandal, so I wanted to see what else is out there.
