Everybody should watch Senna (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1424432/), a documentary about the F1 driver, Ayrton Senna. I've seen very few more moving films. Unfortunately, at the moment, you'd have to import the DVD from Japan (and fetch subtitles off the net for the Portuguese parts), but it will be showing in US theatres in July.

robotsinmyhead posted:Echoing Grand Prix - The Killer Years. Wow. I watch F1 and I can't imagine it being like that today. The final scene was heartbreaking and profound beyond words. The ending was terribly abrupt though and as we know, real changes didn't actually come until after Senna died in 94.

Dead Pressed posted:You hated how they showed the truth? A documentary can be entertaining, but it most importantly needs to be truthful, to properly DOCUMENT what is actually happening. There's a rebuttal: http://1trickpony.cachefly.net/gas/pdf/Affirming_Gasland_Sept_2010.pdf Edit: and a recent Economist article on the issue for the heck of it: http://www.economist.com/node/18682288?story_id=18682288 By the way, both of those links are to sources which suffer from severe conflict of interest, i.e. they're both shills for the natural gas industry. You really ought to look for more neutral research on the issue. Rated PG-34 fucked around with this message at 07:35 on May 13, 2011 |

Baron Bifford posted:Sex Slaves A decent documentary but it doesn't provide any serious commentary on ideas for addressing the problems. For instance, the problem of human trafficking could be addressed through immigration reform, and not just locking up human traffickers, who often provide a desired service. When girls end up being enslaved, that could be addressed through legalizing prostitution, and not forcing the trade underground where girls are in a lot more danger.
