Just saw a preview for this today on discovery, but it looks pretty interesting! http://www.afghanstardocumentary.com/ It's a look into the reaction caused by the afghan version of Idol; the reactions from the people in the trailer were pretty extreme in both directions.

onemanlan posted:Oh yeah and if you guys want the most horribly depressing documentary about humanity while having some mild uplifting effect check out Every f***ing day. I had mentioned it in the first page or two, but its worth bringing up again. It's about a mother and her children recounting the brutal life they had under her long-time husband who systematically beat and bullied every one in the family. He beat his wife with literally every implement he could find in the house for over twenty years until she snapped one day and took a hatchet to his head. Now her family prepares for her sentencing day for the crime she committed to stop systematic abuse brought on by her husbands insanity. Great documentary, OMG you want to hate the loving state for how they sentence her especially after hearing all of what the family went through.... I highly suggest this documentary if you can stomach the scenarios she puts forth.

Someone has finally been reposting episodes from the amazing BBC documentary series, The Great War from 1964. If you're interested in World War 1, this is probably the definite documentary series on the subject, in 25 parts, and old enough to feature lots of firsthand accounts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZovb0U2rfU

Ears posted:also Zeitgesit - the first 1/3 is about the story of Jesus, how he likely didn't exist, and that most of his story is recycled from faiths like the Eqyptians. Seriously neat. Stop after you watch that, because the other 2/3 is about WTC conspiracy theories and how money is manipulated by shadow agencies.... not so much. More importantly, skip the first 12 minutes of this film as it is comprised entirely of pretentious imagery that, as far as I can tell, has no actual value in it. I remember a former roommate mentioning this film so I was interested in seeing it. I tried, I really tried, but, honestly, by the time the actual documentary section started I was bored to tears and couldn't care less. Im not a film critic by trade, but firmly believe whoever editted this thing should be tried for war crimes.

She speaks about her abuse in the same matter of fact way she would speak about taking her kids to school, cooking dinner, cleaning the house and all the other every day things in her life.It's powerful and moving to hear. I pretty much lost it when her kid was on the stand speaking from the dogs perspective. I saw Dear Zachary a while back, a thread was posted about it and one of the guys involved in the documentry showed up and answered a lot of questions on the film and how the family were doing. I would say that film was one of the most shocking I've ever seen. I shall get onto Occupation 101, thanks for the tip!

There was a good documentary about Viking sexuality a few years back (I think it was of a series) that was pretty good. I think they were debunking the idea of ritual beastiality in ancient societies. The host talks about a book where a group of housewifes are preparing a bull for dinner and they each take turns to hold its penis in their hands and say what they would like to do it. Not from a porno, it was on ABC.

She doesn't have to worry about getting her teeth knocked out, and she knows her sons will grow up without being beaten, or having to watch her get beaten. She probably feels better than she has in years, even with going to jail. I lost it when the little boy was on the stand, trying to not cry. I don't think sending either of these people to jail is a good thing. They're not going to kill anyone again... they didn't kill that bastard because it was fun. I hope she has a good lawyer who finds a way to get them out early, somehow.

If you're looking for something light and fluffy and want to feel a sense of superiority for 45 minutes, I'd recommend 'My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding', which was shown on Channel 4 in the UK last night. It basically follows the weddings of 4 gypsy/Irish traveller girls in the UK. IMO, the documentary is slanted slightly in favour of the gypsies (HOW these people can actually afford these weddings is conveniently not mentioned and there IS a reason, beside prejudice, why many hotels cancel their receptions if they get wind of the fact they're pikeys) but it's still a decent laugh anyway. Trailer (pun not intended) here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HAUmII_hcg&feature=related Full doc. here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-eMN841LoE

I only quickly skimmed through the last few pages of this thread, so my apologies if this documentary has already been mentioned. The One Percent is a 2006 documentary about the growing wealth gap between America's wealthy elite and the citizenry on the whole. It was created by Jamie Johnson, heir to the Johnson & Johnson fortune, and produced by Jamie Johnson and Nick Kurzon. The film's title refers to the top one percent of Americans in terms of wealth, who control forty percent or more of the nation's wealth. Unfortunately, the only place I could find a decent copy is on youtube and there are eight separate parts. Here is part one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK8-nr-of30 The other parts are fairly easy to find linked in the "related videos" sidebar. I really enjoyed this documentary because of how much inside access Jamie Johnson has to some of the wealthy elite. Some of the interviews are with high profile people, and that might not have happened had he not been well-connected already. Also entertaining is how uncomfortable he makes his own family.

My favorite documentaries from the previous thread. These were posted mostly by me, but some come from some other goons. Keep up the good fight! HEALTH AND MEDICINE DOCUMENTARIESMedicating Kids quote:In "Medicating Kids," FRONTLINE examines the dramatic increase in the prescription of behavior-modifying drugs for children. Are these medications really necessary--and safe--for young children, or merely a harried nation's quick fix for annoying, yet age-appropriate, behavior? View FRONTLINE's second look at this issue with "The Medicated Child," aired in January 2008: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/medicatedchild/ The Lobotomist http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/lobotomist/ The story of the man who perfected this procedure. Using icepicks. And giving a free pair of sunglasses after each one of them. Thin http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6giq9_thin-part-one_people quote:Eating disorders affect five million people in the U.S., and more than 10% of those diagnosed with anorexia nervosa will die from the disease. Seeking to put a human face on these sobering statistics, acclaimed photographer Lauren Greenfield went inside a Florida treatment center to tell the stories of four women who are literally dying to be thin. The devastating HBO documentary THIN reveals what she found there - and explores the issues underlying their illness. Dying to be Thin http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xao8qc_dying-to-be-thin-part-1_shortfilms Or here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/thin/program.html quote:The film examines a disturbing increase in the prevalence of debilitating and sometimes life-threatening eating disorders, particularly anorexia and bulimia. Dana: The 8-year old anorexic http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xaopg7_dana-the-8-year-old-anorexic-part-1_shortfilms quote:Shortly after her eighth birthday, Dana's eating habits changed. At first she ate a bit less. Then she gave up sweets and then junk food. But soon she was eating so little that her parents had her admitted to a paediatric ward. There, she stopped eating completely and had to be fed through an IV drip. To prevent the glucose entering her body she held her arm up for six hours. A lot more documentaries on eating disorders: http://www.dailymotion.com/playlists/ThinIsabelle True Life: "I Have Schizophrenia" http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1586145 quote:MTV documentary that follows the lives of 3 teenagers who live with Schizophrenia. Powerful stuff. SEX DOCUMENTARIESSex Slaves. quote:It follows the real struggle of a Ukrainian man whose pregnant wife was kidnapped and sold in Turkey as a sex slave. Throughout the documentary he investigates the underground (and sometimes blatantly overt over-ground) slave rings as he does everything in his power to get his wife back. I always knew that this kind of thing happened in the world, but I never had a human face to put on it until now. The guys running the rings are the worst kind of scumbags there are and the video can be absolutely heart-wrenching at times. This is not a very easy watch. Love me Long Time: Holiday Romance for Sale A documentary about sex tourism in Thailand. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1011007901652452655&ei=M7TVSfOGKIaYrQKsxYiGCw&q=sex+documentary Teens Hooked on Porn http://www.moviesfoundonline.com/teens_hooked_on_porn.php quote:This film examines the disturbing reality of teenagers who have become hooked on internet pornography. One 16 year old from Bristol has looked at porn online since the age of 13 and it has almost overtaken his life. We follow his progress as he seeks therapy and tries to overcome his addiction. We also meet other younger children who look at porn, some brazenly and others for whom it's a secret obsession. I'm pretty sure that my mother (just like your mothers) assumes that I've seen porn or that I've masturbated at some point in my life (specially since I took a fertility test once) but I would never be able to go on camera and talk about how I like to watch fetish porn (I don't!) or how much I masturbate, like some of these KIDS do. I hope they enjoy school now, since they just managed to ostracize themselves for good. WAR AND POLITICSThe Israel Lobby http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2894821400057137878&ei=AsmkSe_1K5K-rwKVjaH2Aw&q=israel+lobby quote:An episode of the Dutch documentary program "Tegenlicht" about the Israel lobby in the USA. This documentary (April 2007) was created as a result of the controversy created by Mearsheimer and Walt's "The Israel Lobby" article. Featuring interviews with Mearsheimer, geostrategist Lawrence Wikerson, Richard Perle, historian and critic Tony Judt, John Hagee, former Congressman Earl Hilliard, Kenneth Roth of Human Rights Watch, Michael Massing and Daniel Levy. 'Tegenlicht' ('Backlight') is a program from the Dutch VPRO public television. English elucidation at the VPRO website: http://www.vpro.nl/programma/tegenlicht/dossiers/34338368/ Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land: Media & the Israel-Palestine Conflict quote:Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land provides a striking comparison of U.S. and international media coverage of the crisis in the Middle East, zeroing in on how structural distortions in U.S. coverage have reinforced false perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This pivotal documentary exposes how the foreign policy interests of American political elites--oil, and a need to have a secure military base in the region, among others--work in combination with Israeli public relations strategies to exercise a powerful influence over how news from the region is reported. It's a war zone documentary, so expect blood and gore. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6604775898578139565&ei=gs2vSdusFpTuqALDoajwDw&q=palestine+documentary PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch it. Gaza War Crimes quote:This powerful report looks at the alleged Israeli war crimes committed during the Gaza War. We show blindfolded children being used as human shields alongside innocent civilians and medics being targeted. By The Guardian. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLZgNy46aTQ It's amazing to see how the IDF provides written responses to the accusations, all of them saying basically the same: "none of that happened". No end in sight (a little out of date now, but still pretty good) quote:Chronological look at the fiasco in Iraq, especially decisions made in the spring of 2003 - and the backgrounds of those making decisions - immediately following the overthrow of Saddam: no occupation plan, an inadequate team to run the country, insufficient troops to keep order, and three edicts from the White House announced by Bremmer when he took over: no provisional Iraqi government, de-Ba'athification, and disbanding the Iraqi armed services. The film has chapters (from History to Consequences), and the talking heads are reporters, academics, soldiers, military brass, and former Bush-administration officials, including several who were in Baghdad in 2003 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6621486727392146155 quote:Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers is a 2006 documentary about the ongoing Iraq War and the behavior of companies with no-bid contracts working in Iraq. The movie was made by Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films. Rachel Corrie: An American Conscience quote:Rachel: An American Conscience by Yahya Barakat From the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs: Yahya Barakat, who teaches at Al-Quds University, told The Washington Report that he began work on the documentary the instant he learned that Corrie had been crushed to death by an Israeli-driven Caterpillar bulldozer. This documentary offers rare footage of Rachel talking to a camera and describing Israeli human rights violations against a Palestinian civilian population. The film opens with grim images of dinosaur-like Caterpillar bulldozers turning urban Rafah into a garbage pile of destroyed buildings. It continues with interviews of Rachel's fellow International Solidarity Movement volunteers, and concludes with comments from her parents. Norman Finkelstein on the Gaza Massacre quote:A talk by Dr. Norman Finkelstein about the Israel-Palestine "war" on the Gaza Strip, earlier this year. Inside Britain's Israel Lobby Dispatches investigates one of the most powerful and influential political lobbies in Britain, which is working in support of the interests of the State of Israel. This film contains scenes of the aftermath of war conflicts which some may find upsetting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POtk6G7q4Bw Ray McGovern - Why Accountability for Torture Is Crucial for Human Rights Not a documentary, but an 1-hour talk that I thought was really worth sharing. Talk by 27-year Veteran of the CIA Ray McGovern on "Why Accountability for Torture Is Crucial for Human Rights, Our Security and Our Souls" given November 12, 2009 at Kane Hall on the University of Washington campus in Seattle. Talk sponsored by Washington State Religious Campaign Against Torture http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWBRyzPzKbY Ghosts of Abu Ghraib quote:The familiar and disturbing pictures of torture at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison raise many troubling questions: How did torture become an accepted practice at Abu Ghraib? Did U.S. government policies make it possible? How much damage has the aftermath of Abu Ghraib had on America's credibility as a defender of freedom and human rights around the world? Acclaimed filmmaker Rory Kennedy looks beyond the headlines to investigate the psychological and political context in which torture occurred. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-82848561528142057 To see the people talk about how they were tortured and, what's even worse, see others talk about how they did the torturing is just scary. 638 ways to kill castro quote:Dollan Cannell's documentary on the hundreds of alleged plots to assassinate Fidel Castro, and a look at the evolution of Cuban politics. Part 2: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=426887276676353148&q=source%3A013515801467348778884&hl=es (unrelated; what the gently caress is that cooking program at the beginning of the first part? And, can't people produce real programs, as opposed to those drat reality shows?) Wall of Shame quote:The wall being constructed on the West Bank by the Israeli government is twenty-five feet high. Studded with guard towers and armaments, and encrusted with high-tech sensors, the wall cuts across the land, separating Palestinians from their own farms, their own neighbors, and from the Israeli settlements which have sprung up rapidly as a result of lavish subsidies from the Israeli government. Alternate Focus cameraman Rodney Devereux brings us face-to face with the wall and all its implications. Producers: Rodney Devereaux & John Odam, Writer: Lawrence Ludlow (2003) Alternate Focus is available on the Dish Network, Free Speech TV, Channel 9415, Saturdays at 8:00pm EST and on cable stations near you. Check website for details Warriors of the French Foreign Legion Title is self explanatory. A documentary about the (über awesome) french foreign legion. I know that there's at least one goon that's in it (or at least was there). For a long time I thought about joining. Who knows, maybe one day I'll just go there, change my name and start over as a loving legionaire! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6777372516104300363&ei=ZHmrSdG2N5HEqQK649zVDg&q=documentary Waco: The Rules of Engagement quote:The first full-length documentary film to present the complete picture of the series of events outside Waco, Texas during 1993 that resulted in the shooting of 4 federal agents and the deaths of 86 men, women, and children of the Branch Davidian religious sect. A highly detailed examination of the interaction between David Koresh, his members, and Federal Law Enforcement. It shows how the FBI misled the public and American political leaders in order to focus overwhelming force on a group whose diversity of race, national origin, and apocalyptic religious beliefs made its members easy targets for lethal abuse of civil and human rights. Gripping and deeply thought provoking, the film provides America with something it truly needs - an opportunity to review the historical record of events at Waco. The findings raise doubts about the FBI's version of the story and their larger role in similar instances of law enforcement. PART 1 - http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4298137966377572665&ei=DnurSZHiIpTWqAL5ioT-DQ&q=waco+documentary PART 2 - http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1755692679103175934 Infrared Footage - http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7862840158598189292 Bonus: 911 calls - http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8808439217729437398 Waco: A New Revelation quote:Waco: A New Revelation is the film that triggered a new Congressional investigation of the Waco tragedy, and caused the Justice Department and the FBI to reverse their long-held positions on Waco. It has generated a firestorm of events unprecedented in the history of documentary filmmaking. After six years of painstaking investigation, the complete story of the tragedy in Texas is finally coming to light. This compelling feature-length documentary presents new revelations about the events that led up to the deaths of 79 men, women and children at Mount Carmel on April 19, 1993. In the spring of 1998, under the Freedom of Information Act, investigators from MGA Studio's film division became the first private citizens to gain access to the Waco investigation evidence lockers. What they found was shocking. Upon examination, the evidence gathered under the supervision of federal officials appeared to contradict the FBI's congressional testimony, raising serious and disturbing questions about events surrounding the siege at Mt. Carmel and the deaths of the Davidians. Gene CullenSince 1993, former members of the FBI, former Special Forces and CIA operatives have come forward with new evidence to suggest that the FBI's claim is inaccurate.

The series was first shown on the British television network Channel 4 on April 2001. The series accompanied Ronson's book Them: Adventures With Extremists, which covered similar topics and described many of the same episodes. Both the series and book detail Ronson's encounters following theorists and activists residing on the cusp of the political, religious, and sociological norms. Say what you will, but I can't believe what they did to that family. I love how Bill Maher, who is so much against religion for allegedly being against civil rights, openly mocked what happened to them. He must be really proud of himself.

They eventually committed on of the most horrific string of serial murders in modern times. Considered to be one of the definitive documentaries about Manson and his infamous "family," CHARLES MANSON SUPERSTAR tells the killer's story with archival news footage, police photos, and an uncensored interview with Manson himself.

This is the first video in a series called Beyond Human. This video features Marshall Applewhite. He was the leader of the Heaven's Gate cult. He died in the cult's suicide in 1997.These are clips obtained while filming the documentary "Heaven's Gate: The Day After. They were given to us by Chuck Humphrey, who was known as RKKody while he was with the Heaven's Gate group, just prior to his suicide in 1998. While attending Boise State University in the mid eighties director Sergio Myers encountered members of the Heaven’s Gate cult who were on campus recruiting new members. Three years later, after the mass suicide of 39 members, Myers compiled footage taken from the Idaho recruiting session. It is the director’s goal to portray the cult members as people who loved life, and welcomed the "next level" - not as fanatics. Through the use of their farewell video, one can see the joy on the cult members’ faces two days prior to their deaths. This was not a dangerous group such as the Manson Family or as extreme as the Branch Davidians; but ultimately, as in Jonestown, the lives of numerous people are gone for reasons to complex to fathom.

The film won the Best Documentary Award at the 2006 Los Angeles Film Festival and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.[1] The title refers to a line in the Lord's Prayer, or the "Our Father." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deliver_Us_from_Evil_(2006_film http://video.google.es/videoplay?docid=7745088455537169028&hl=es It's a very good documentary, yet very disturbing, since it includes many interviews with Oliver O'Grady, who talks openly about his sexual desire for kids. A must watch. Gangland - Nuestra Familia quote:This new series tells the inside story of some of America's most notorious street gangs. We learn how they've shaped their times and affected the neighborhoods that they controlled. From the destruction wrought by the heroin kingpins in Harlem of the 1970's to today's most dangerous gang MS-13, which has spread out from the inner city to infect unexpected turf - suburban communities, gangs have a rich yet deadly history. They usually start out as a form of protection for their members and the community but then, grow predatory as they feed on the very people that they purport to defend. With exclusive interviews and rarely seen footage, this is a raw look at life inside these gangs - from those who live it and the agencies that are working to stop them.

The film follows metal fan and anthropologist Sam Dunn on a whirlwind journey through Asia, South America and the Middle East as he explores the underbelly of the world`s emerging extreme music scenes from Indonesian death metal to Chinese black metal to Iranian thrash metal. GLOBAL METAL reveals a worldwide community of metalheads who aren`t just absorbing metal from the West ... they`re transforming it.

Aceshighxxx posted:The One Percent is a 2006 documentary about the growing wealth gap between America's wealthy elite and the citizenry on the whole. It was created by Jamie Johnson, heir to the Johnson & Johnson fortune, and produced by Jamie Johnson and Nick Kurzon. The film's title refers to the top one percent of Americans in terms of wealth, who control forty percent or more of the nation's wealth. Wow, that was really good. I really liked Jamie Johnson's earlier documentary Born Rich, where he interviews a bunch of his ultra rich friends. It's a revealing look into the minds of people born into fabulous wealth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKKb7_7qBrk

Some documentaries from the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver BC. A lot of people don't know about our homeless problem and drug problem in the city, and it was all conveniently swept away for most of the Olympics. From the Vancouver police, they made Through a Blue Lens (2, 3, 4, 5, 6.) which is my favourite of the two. It can be alittle  at times, things like open sores on drug addicts etc.Heres a more recent one where a rich white kid decides to live for 30 days on the DTES as a homeless person. The first 20 minutes of so it kind of seems like a joke, but hes serious about it and all in all its not a bad watch Streets of Plenty (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.)

His name sounds like Randy I think... the RCMP came to our school to show us this documentary, and one of the guys who was in it came with them to speak to us and answer questions after. He was pretty much a completely Awesome Dude, and I remember all of us were pretty into the documentary. I second the recommendation for this one at least. It's done by cops who work in the DTES and see these people all the time.

Yeah, Randy is in that one. I was also in school when I first saw it. Theres one done by the same people again called Tears for April: Beyond the Blue Lens but I haven't been able to find a copy of it, and online it costs $50 so thats kind of out of the question.

I looked through the thread and didn't see a reference to The Sorrow and the Pity, so I thought I'd throw one in here. It's a four hour long 1969 documentary about the French reaction to the German invasion in WWII: resistance, collaboration and responses to collaboration. Filled with direct interviews and engaging footage, it has been described by Roger Ebert as "one of the greatest documentaries ever made". It takes a hell of a long time to watch but is worth every minute. I couldn't find the whole thing anywhere, but here are the trailer and IMDB: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeO89EgDWrM&feature=PlayList&p=9B076968222838F8&index=0 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066904/ Red Dad Redemption fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Mar 13, 2010 |
