Dailymotion took it down, but it's still on Youku. I just finished watching it and it was simply amazing. Very moving, extremely interesting. Definitely recommended.

It's probably not on Youtube but his latest documentary Welcom to Lagos is up on iPlayer if you're in the UK.

Did you mean this? It's called "Hard Law in Lagos". Very bad quality on youtube, unfortunately.

There's another BBC documentary called "Welcome to Lagos", not by Louis Theroux, but still a very good watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8llgvgHxHE&feature=related

Also, here's Vocal Slender's full music video (He's one of the guys that this documentary is about) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuBaA-VwidI&feature=related Pretty nice song in my opinion.
His dedication to making it big in music is awe-inspiring.

Skating park/website with a bunch of short docs about the lives of some skaters. This one in particular stands out; it's making some serious web traffic today.

(2 parts, both on the same page)

This was also posted in the youtube thread and it's really good. Very moving.

You shouldn't let that change your view, as it's fake.

What's the documentary about the Aikido (or some sort of Japanese stick fighting) test that only one person passes a year?

Quoting from a few pages back, but I think this might be the one you're talking about :

It's a really interesting documentary about Kendo, and 2 men trying to pass the test for 8th Dan (the highest rank). One is a former Kendo champion, the other one a 78 year old man who has been failing the test for 24 years.

I don't watch alot of TV, but this aired on austrian television last night and I couldn't turn it off. Brilliant movie on the human condition. Absolutely breathtaking cinematography and a great soundtrack. The first documentary to be premiered in the U.N. General Assembly Hall. The 3 part extended version is freely available on youtube. If you're looking for something to watch on the weekend, make it this one. Actually, this should be required viewing for every single human on this planet in my opinion.

The full runtime for all 3 parts is about 4 1/2 hours, which is quite long, but trust me time will fly by when you watch it. Even if you just skip through it and watch a few of the monologues it's worth it. It made me laugh out loud and it made me cry like a little baby. Definitely the best documentary I've seen in the last 5 years, if not ever.
