WaffleLove posted:Hope-fully this one hasn't been posted yet. But this is an short documentary on the current legal battle involving Marc Emery done by the CBC in Canada, and some of the reasons why the DEA is attacking him. It's five parts, hope some of you's enjoy. I can only find parts one and two, any idea where the others are?

I just discovered Mark Thomas's 'Secret Map of Britain', which is about all kinds of places and things in the UK that don't officially exist. It's completely fascinating, though I wonder if he'd have been able to do it in the current climate without getting arrested. Edit : Youtube one goes out of sync, so here it is on Google video in one chunk - http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2130977739763182534 El Goatherd fucked around with this message at 13:50 on May 6, 2011 |

The thread about To Catch a Predator reminded me of this BBC documentary following the UK Child Protection Team as they raid and prosecute people for possession of child pornography. Be warned that it's very depressing and upsetting in places. I can't imagine having to do a job like this and looking at the stuff they're describing without having a total mental breakdown. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2jan2_police-protecting-children-1_people http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2jb49_police-protecting-children-2_people http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2jclk_police-protecting-children-3_people http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2jd9y_police-protecting-children-4_people http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2je17_police-protecting-children-5_people http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2je4f_police-protecting-children-6_people It's also notable because one of the arrestees featured is Pete Townshend. EDIT 2 : As well as the disturbing description there is also some (adult) nudity, so it's definitely  . Also they show some of the stuff they seize in censored form, which is still incredibly  .

the kawaiiest posted:Oh God, they actually show censored child pornography on this thing. I couldn't watch any further after they showed it. It's blurred and mostly censored but it's pretty clear what's going on and it's just terrible. Sorry, you're right and I should have put up an extra warning. It was broadcast on BBC1 originally and they received a bit of criticism for that. Like you say, even though it's very heavily censored, it's still incredibly disturbing. I can understand the editorial decision to do that though. It's not like I didn't think pedophiles and child pornography were bad before I saw that documentary, but seeing those images made it suddenly very immediate and real and drove home just how loving horrible this thing is.

"My Car is My Lover", a Channel Four/Five documentary about a man who fucks cars. Also I'm guessing he's a furry what with his choice of headgear and home suspiciously full of animal stuff. http://vimeo.com/19783963 (edit : probably due to the brief covert shot of his dick near the end when he's loving his car.)"Behind Bars", a BBC2 documentary about the brutal prison riot that broke out in 1982 at the the New Mexico Penitentiary : http://youtu.be/3M-hPpuAqwQ El Goatherd fucked around with this message at 09:41 on Sep 19, 2011 |

I thought this had already been posted but a quick search revealed nothing. Tobacco Wars Episode 1 - Lighting Up Episode 2 - Smokescreen Episode 3 - Smoked Out It's a fascinating and sometimes frightening history of smoking, focusing mainly on the ways in which tobacco companies tried to counter the growing evidence that cigarettes weren't such a lifegiving health food after all. I still can't get over the footage of various cigarette company CEOs getting up in front of congress and testifying that nicotine is not addictive. If anyone knows of any similar documentaries about smoking and it's medical and social history then please do post them.

Has anyone got suggestions for good documentaries concerning the history of medicine and disease? To contribute : Horizon - Pandemic BBC documentary strand Horizon looks back over how it has covered various pandemic diseases such as smallpox, HIV and flu. There was a really good Horizon about smallpox called 'Smallpox on Death Row', but the youtube link posted earlier in this thread has been pulled and I'm buggered if I can find it anywhere else.

I uploaded this for a TCC thread but figured I might as well post it here as well. It's a 1995 edition of 'Panorama', a fairly well known and long running BBC current affairs documentary strand, documenting the growing recreational use of the sleeping pill temazepam and associated violence in the early-mid 90's. The worse thing about temazepam was that people used to melt the gelcap versions down and inject them, apparently not realizing that it would then re-solidify in their veins and cause death or loss of limbs. Later on in the same year temazepam was re-scheduled to make possession an arrestable offence. Possibly due to some bits showing people coming into casualty with some fairly nasty injuries.Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5

I'm searching around for all three episodes of a really good Channel Four documentary from the late 90's called 'Rush - 50 Years of Drugs in Britain'. So far I've only found Part 2 - Rush, 50 Years of Drugs in Britain (Episode 2) Part 1 - Cannabis moves from subculture to mainstream. Enter LSD. Part 2 - Early therapeutic experiments with LSD. Teams of undercover cunts start to infiltrate the underground. Part 3 - Police launch 'Operation Julie', a massive crackdown on manufacture and supply of LSD. Part 4 - Punk arrives and brings cheap lovely sulphate along with it. Part 5 - Things get a bit grim as barbiturates take over. Hopefully I'll be able to locate the other two.

Here's a probably documentary from 2000 called 'Cartoons Kick rear end : A History of Subversive Animation'. It goes from anonymous and incredibly crude gag reels from the 1930's, overt political propaganda and covert dissent in Nazi-era Germany and the Soviet bloc, 70's counterculture stuff like Fritz the Cat and Coonskin, right through to what was then modern day stuff, ie Ren and Stimpy and rude things that somehow got past the censors.

I found the other two episodes of the 2002 BBC series 'The Hunt For Britain's Pedophiles'. Be warned that these episodes feature some heavily censored but still very upsetting images. I haven't watched it yet, but I'm hoping one of the parts is the episode I remember with a particularly obviously mentally-ill bloke who kept saying it was all the kids fault and how the existence of female circumcision makes it alright for him to sexually abuse children or something. All of these are and . You have been warned.Episode 1, Part 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Rw_glK3CiA Episode 1, Part 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LihdzmVECao Episode 1, Part 3 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2wW4OD79D8 Episode 2, Part 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYr6Ud8mrfc Episode 2, Part 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-B4XHrhfiWY: Episode 2, Part 3 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4Vn6mZzojI Episode 3, Part 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZM_AXVtOIA Episode 3, Part 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCsAW6q0L6w The last part was the one linked earlier in the thread. Edit : Only halfway through the first episode and already remember why this upset me so much the first time. Listening to that now older girl recounting the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father and his friends just fills me with so much revulsion and sadness. Edit 2 : Having now watched it I'd add an extra warning that parts of the other two episodes are even worse, so you might want to skip this.

Toriori posted:Can't/won't watch this. I think of what I'd do if I knew something who violated a child like that. My head says I should be reasoned and liberal and say that people like that should be treated as being mentally ill, shut in prison or if possible rehabilitated, but I can't watch that documentary without feeling all they really need is a bullet in the head.

SeanBeansShako posted:Mental: A History of the Madhouse Part 1 Thanks for posting this. I'm fascinated by the history of medicine and mental health issues and this is the sort of thing I've been looking for for ages. It's hard to believe that things like lobotomy and insulin coma were ever used, let alone on such a wide scale. There was a good Radio Four documentary about lobotomies a short while ago : http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b016wx0w

The Untold Tommy Cooper A documentary mostly of interest to UK comedy nerds, although those of you who only know Tommy Cooper as that comedian who literally died onstage during a live TV broadcast might find it interesting to know a bit more about him. It does cover his death in part 5 and includes interviews with his assistant on the night. Part 1 http://youtu.be/3YJuUdXVLQ4 Part 2 http://youtu.be/xC-_ixNncj0 Part 3 http://youtu.be/Fv1xgDfHI_k Part 4 http://youtu.be/ANpAbYlYc2s Part 5 http://youtu.be/hZVjPxAhoPQ
