i've been watching tv where have you been? pbs is cool sometimes, not all the time, discovery channel used to be great, now it's not, and the history channel is cool sometimes too but it's always about the nazi's...i'm talking about just one channel dedicated to showing documentaries of all types, duh! where the fuck have you been?

I can highly reccomend this flik. Alot of docos can be boring with interviews etc

but this is very well made. Every interview has video footage of every event being discussed.

Always changing video footage, news, police file video etc. Again, extremly well put together. Very good watch!

very dope thread...

 

got dark days a while back. very good movie. the dj shadow soundtrack goes so well with it. also really liked it how it had a little bit written about how each of the people featured were going several years after the doco was made.

The Bridge.

People suffer largely unnoticed while the rest of the world goes about its business. This is a documentary exploration of the mythic beauty of the Golden Gate Bridge, the most popular suicide destination in the world, and those drawn by its call. Steel and his crew filmed the bridge during daylight hours from two separate locations for all of 2004, recording most of the two dozen deaths in that year (and preventing several others). They also taped interviews with friends, families and witnesses, who recount in sorrowful detail stories of struggles with depression, substance abuse and mental illness. Raises questions about suicide, mental illness and civic responsibility as well as the filmmaker's relationship to his fraught and complicated materia

What was that al gore/global warming flick?

Any good...?

 

An Inconvenient Truth... def. worth a watch!

 

Check out an Australian film "Jisoe", it's kind of hard to get though.... Also thought Gang Wars 2: Back in the Hood was a good watch... Still haven't found the first one though...

Treadwell reminded me of Steve Irwin, passionate as fuck but something not quite right in the brain region...
