Documentaries
Been watching a few documentaries lately and I've found I really love them. I get really caught up in them and find myself more attached than if a normal film were on. Topics and subjects I normally wouldn't find interesting are suddenly fascinating. Basically a well done documentary is brilliant. A couple of well known ones I have seen lately are The Tillman Story and The Cove. Both were amazing and have opened my eyes a little more to what goes on around the world.
The Tillman story looks into the life of Patrick Tillman, an ex NFL player who left the game to join the army. He was killed and the documentary exploits the governments attempts to cover up the true story of what happened.
The Cove follows a group of activists and their work to exploit the fishery's abuse of dolphins and their attempts to get the message out to the world to stop the slaughters going on in Japan.
Both are amazing works if you haven't seen them. I don't have a huge list of documentaries I want to see but I would like to hear about some that you guys have seen and enjoyed. Catfish has it's own thread here, but is good. As well as 'A letter to Zachary'.

I had no idea what it was about. I think I mentioned it in the thread, but while watching it I realized it all happened basically in my backyard.

It's downloaded now... I'll probably get round to seeing it eventually but it always takes me fucking ages. And I don't think this is one to watch with THE LADS.
When I finally do I'll either thank you for the warning through my tears or call you a massive faggot
