Post some documentaries about people who have terrible lives so you can feel better about yours. I'll start with my fav documentary of all time, Dope Sick Love

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-AQfzkSumc

Follow the ridiculous lives of two couples as they wander the streets shooting up heroin in apartment elevators, store bathrooms, back alleys and more! My favorite part of this documentary is that the person filming doesn't say a loving thing and just lets everything unfold as it should, probably the closest any of you guys will ever get to experiencing this kind of life (I hope so anyway)

Other neat topics for documentaries you can post are sweatshops, crime-ridden hellholes or even more addiction ones

Live way up north in the wilderness with your crazy bear-obsessed hippy boyfriend. He gets eaten by a bear. You get eaten shortly after while trying to save him.

Pretty much any docu covering video games. Especially Chasing Ghosts, there's a part where one of the refs from Twin Galaxies shows off his extensive erotic art collection and it's just awkward ... as ... gently caress.

This is Christopher Lambert.

It's not on YouTube, but Gray Gardens is a pro watch. It's proto-Hoarders but magnified because the elderly mother and daughter lived in a mansion.

Knuckle got recommended in a Netflix thread but I don't think it's on there anymore. It's about Irish Travelers and their bare-knuckle brawls over some old family beef that is never disclosed.

It starts out with a guy marrying his cousin and just gets more depressing from there.

Working Man's Death is a brilliant documentary on hard manual labour in the 21st century. One of my all time favourites.

All 5 parts with english subs used to be available on Al Jazeera's youtube but I can't find them right now.

I've been looking for this sweatshop documentary where it follows a girl who moved out by herself to support her family and does anyone know which one I'm talking about? I realize this describes every sweatshop worker but this documentary was really great cuz it followed one person in particular making it a lot more personable

Crazy Love.

The documentary movie about the woman who was disfigured by acid by a guy, blinded, then MARRIES him later. This is in the U.S. and true. Blew my mind when I watched it.

Dan Bell did a short documentary about Aileen Wuornos, a prostitute / serial killer. He hangs out at the bar she used to frequent,interviews people, stays in her motel room, etc. Somewhat informative but mostly just him being a tourist.
