[quote="Violet_Sky" post="440779727"] There was an old thread about this but now it's gone. I figured that we should have one. Jesus Camp A bunch of kids go a Christian summer camp where they learn about why abortions and Harry Potter are evil. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiYFRmNuz9k The scene in that movie where they had the kids praying to a lifesize cardboard cutout of George Bush was really weird

Just finished watching through all the Louis Theroux Episodes on Netflix. Superbly interesting subjects covered and Louis has a very nice approach to asking simple but revealing questions to people. I'd recommend all of them. I'd also recommend the latest Adam Crutis Doc - Bitter Lake (iPlayer, but it's on Youtube too). Discussing the Quincy Agreement, the state of Saudi Arabia and the Oil business. Incredibly interesting exploration of how the West has repeatedly been unable to understand the issues in the Middle East yet still just rushing in without forethought.

I re-found this thread when searching for a couple of things to watch during office downtime, and I have untold hours of interesting docs, so thank you everyone! To make up for resurrecting a dormant thread, here are a couple of my favourites: Antifa: Chausseurs des Skins (Skinhead Hunters): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UU07m_Cr-jg A French documentary about anti-fascist street gangs in Paris in the 1980s. A fascinating portrait of a pretty fraught time in French urban history. Living Utopia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPl_Y3Qdb7Y Spanish documentary about anarchists and the lives of ordinary people before, during and after the Civil War of the 30s. A lot of people interviewed were children in these anarchist enclaves, and it's a side of the war you never really hear about. We Live In Public: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTMOQaK_xt4 About the life and work of Josh Harris, an early Internet pioneer who is pretty much completely forgotten today. It chronicles his profile during the early dot-com boom, and his increasingly bizarre and invasive social experiments, exploring the idea of privacy and identity in a connected modern world.

I'm not a huge fan of Foo Fighters but Dave Grohl's Sonic Highways documentary series is very good. They go to different US cities and explore their music background, speak with local musicians and play with them. Stoner rock in California, jazz in New Orleans, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-z8A9P5ziA (short trailer)

Restrepo is definitely one of the better war documentaries I've watched. But poo poo did that gently caress me up for a long while. I was in that same area a year before that and was in the mission the established the lumberyard and even then I knew that area was hosed. It went ok for us because it wasn't an expected decision, but those units that got put on that side of the river were hosed from the get go. I had been out of the military for three years and fully settled into college and regular life. But that movie was so good it was almost a flashback and my dreams were hosed so bad I got kicked off to the couch for almost a month. Edit: For movies you should watch. The Last Gladiators is a movie about the enforcers of the NHL and how they are a dying breed. The movie paints them as people that really love hockey and really want to be good players but are cast into roles where they are the fighters because they just are not as good as the other guys. And at the end it starts to show how bad their lives are and how fighting is bad and just hurts people that are paid garbage compared to other players even though most of their after hockey lives are destroyed. take me you ANIMAL has a new favorite as of 04:15 on Apr 18, 2016 |

fits posted:June 17, 1994 is about a variety of major sports stories in the US in June 1994 (New York Rangers winning the Stanley Cup, New York Knicks in Game 5 of the NBA Finals also trying to win, World Cup action kicking off across the US, Arnold Palmers last golf pro tour game, and so on) and how coverage of them was changed with OJ Simpson on the run from police. I highly recommend this, it's my favorite documentary.

This is the Outcasts. It's a documentary about a biker gang in the UK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrh59uSja4E It may be one of the most unintentionally hilarious things ever. See if you can count the amount of scenes where the director has decided "Nothing interesting is going on, let's have them do something"
