"Mile, Mile & a Half" was pretty enjoyable, if you are in to hiking/backpacking/nature/National Parks. Group of photographers, video & sound guys hiking John Muir Trail... Scenery is pretty insane
I'm going to have to watch it. I started it, but started it way too late and fell asleep immediately. It sounds like the one-side is against the government controlling the deep web, yes?
Honestly, I can give you links to shit you can read that is far better and far more fascinating on Silk Road. Start here and journey down the rabbit hole: http://antilop.cc/sr/
Watched the Barkley Marathon on Netflix. Would highly recommend. Had no idea it even existed. It's basically the hardest race in the world, on 13 people have completed in in 30 years. They have to run over 100 miles in 60 hours up and down elevation mostly without trails in the backwoods of Tennessee.
Some docs I've seen in the last month or so Palio - 7/10 The Pearl Button - 6/10 Heart of a Dog - 7/10 More of an experimental film but is classified as a doc. Meditative journey about life and death. Killing Them Safely - 7/10 Racing Extinction - 8/10 Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine - 7/10
Just watched "Welcome to Leith" on Netflix. Not my favorite doc, but I certainly enjoyed it. Revolves around a popular white supremacist essentially trying to take over tiny town in one of the Dakotas.
Can't wait for this one: http://www.indiewire.com/article/betting-on-zero-movie-clip-documentary-tribeca-20160414 Tells the ongoing story of a famous hedge fund manager who is shorting a company called Herbalife and follows his journey as he tries to take down what he perceives to be a pyramid scheme (you have to buy a bunch of vitamins to sell herbalife). This saga is still ongoing which is what makes the documentary so appealing. I hope it comes out soon.
Yes. Here is a good (long) read on the issue from the Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/10/b...en-ackman-lobbying-to-bring-it-down.html?_r=0
Welcome to Leith was really good, and creepy. I think we've discussed it back in this thread. Killing them Safely was done by a former Mizzou basketball player. keep meaning to watch that one
My dad worked on this movie and I just got my autographed copy (signed by all the climbers, great group of dudes) /humblebrag
There are many solid ones, but none stick out to me. The Second World War on the other hand begins and ends with the documentary "The World at War". It's comprehensive and probably the best documentary ever. They do an episode specifically on Nazi Germany, I believe.
Welcome to Leith kinda sucked. The ending just sort of happens - not really a story worth making a documentary about.
All on Netflix Citizen Koch - On Scott Walker, Citizen's United, the formation of the Tea Party and the millions the Koch Brothers poured into the 2012 election. Requiem for the American Dream - Noam Chomsky goes through the semi recent history of American politics and its current state. Hot Coffee - The history of how astroturf groups and a major PR campaign led to tort reform and the erosion of consumer rights. Sugar Coated - How the sugar lobby has been blurring the link between sugar consumption and diabetes and how they have changed the whole idea of nutrition in the world for the worse. All were very good. If you couldn't guess they are all somewhat left leaning.
Watched this the other night and thought it was pretty good Locked away from society in an apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Angulo brothers learn about the outside world through the films that they watch. Nicknamed, 'The Wolfpack,' the brothers spend their childhood reenacting their favorite films using elaborate homemade props and costumes. Their world is shaken up when one of the brothers escapes and everything changes.
Not Nazi-specific, but I think World War Two in Colour is still on Netflix. Its BBC, so it has a British perspective, but its really well done.
I'm not sure if I mentioned it, but I really enjoyed "Under the Electric Sky" -- I watched it on Netflix a month or 2 ago and really enjoyed it. I'm into the MTV: True Life and 24/7 style of documentary. There's also a Burning Man documentary I watched, but it wasn't nearly as entertaining for me. The TomorrowLand doc wasn't that good, either. Does anyone have a good documentary on gaming? Like the world of gamers? I brought up Under the Electric Sky because I'd like to see 2. A doc that discusses the gaming world at a high level, and a doc that follows around gamers preparing for the world championships 24/7 style. Edit: I've watched this one, and want to see more Editx2: So funny, because this chick just asked me about gaming, because I was explaining what Twitch was to her. She said this: "I wonder how much use Twtich gets. I have a friend who's brother is some super big deal gamer and he writes about video games and things, kind of an interesting world at that high level.... this friend's brother does league of legends (I think?)..... and I don't actually know what it means to be a "professional" except that it must imply some money" She then links a wikipedia page for him, and it's the dude in the above doc, Hai. Lmbo.
SIAP, this Steve Gleason documentary looks pretty good: https://www.yahoo.com/movies/warning-this-gleason-trailer-will-make-you-cry-170011262.html
