    The new documentary simply titled “January 6” on HBO is very good. 2.5 hours long and lots of footage from the event. I know we’ve all read/watched a lot about these events but this one stood far above other pieces on the subject imo.

    Should be required viewing for people that would even consider voting for Trump this November… some of the stuff is truly horrifying and makes your skin crawl when you see it first hand.

    Dan Cummins did a podcast on the West Memphis 3, and now I want to watch these somewhat related docs.

    This one is kind of old now, unfortunately


    This one is a lot more related to that case, or specifically, satanic panic.

    “The program” on Netflix is another insane story I had never heard about. I recommend.

    the women confronting their abusers is pretty powerful

    Posted in Middle East thread but not a lot of attention there, interesting look at Syria's main export these days. Captagon first got attention for ISIS/other Syrian rebel groups giving it to their fighters before battles it's basically an insanely souped up amphetamine.

    Binged the 3 episodes of Dancing for the Devil tonight with the wife. It's not bad, not outstanding, but worth the watch. Austin Eckler appears in it a couple times.

    I watched this and thought it was pretty good.



    The eight-episode Secrets of The Hells Angels goes deep into the world of the most secretive and notorious biker club.
    Exposes the true cost of being a member of the world's most infamous biker club: the Hells Angels.
    Under former leader Sonny Barger, the Hells Angels "brotherhood" expanded across the United States. With continued accusations of criminal activity, the biker club became known as a serious threat and not to be crossed. "Secrets of the Hells Angels" examines the history of the group of outlaws to uncover the organization's darkest secrets. With access to 5 former chapter presidents including Charles "PeeWee" Goldsmith, Thomas Eriksen, Pat Matter, Matt Zanoskar and George Christie alongside exclusive interviews with law enforcement officers, undercover agents, victims and more, it is revealed that the Hells Angels were a much more violent, devious, and highly organized group than anyone realized.

    Wife told me about these 2 documentaries, so I watched them today... Trust me, documentaries have come a long way since 2002. But this is like a BBC social experiment of putting 10/11 year old children in a house without supervision for 5 days. I was told the girls had order and the boys were just utter chaos, so I watched the boys first thinking it would be more entertaining. It wasn't, I was much more entertained by the girls.

    If you want some Kid Nation-esque 2002 BBC documentary of Lord of the Flies, here you go.

    This is good

    In a legendary feat of leadership and perseverance, polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton kept his crew of 27 men alive for over a year despite the loss of their ship in frigid pack ice. Over a century later, a team of modern-day explorers sets out to find the sunken ship. From National Geographic Documentary Films and directed by Chai Vasarhelyi, Jimmy Chin and Natalie Hewit, ENDURANCE tells the inspiring stories of these two landmark expeditions, bound by their shared grit and determination.

    San Francisco was the epicenter of the American rave scene and witnessed some legendary events that began in the early ‘90s. These all-night electronic-music dance parties are culturally iconic and socially important.
