ParisInAKilt Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Anyone recommend any? Fancy sickening myself further on how horrible the world is.

weekevie04 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Going Clear - a look in to Scientology. HBO and quite long, but very interesting and enjoyable. Interesting break down about the religion from former members and it's also fascinating to see how bizarre Tom Cruise seems to be. Inside Job - deals with the financial crisis of 2007/08.

Angus_Young Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Strangely I was going to post the very same topic last week....then forgot. here a few I've seen recently. The Invisible War (about the cover up of Rape in the US Military) Black Fish (Seaworld's treatment of Orca's, and cover up of fatal incidents) Fahrenheit 911 (most folk have probably seen this by now, worth a watch if you haven't) Some Kind of Monster - Metallica (follows the band about on the St Anger tour) Guns n Roses - Behind the Music (this was on VH1 for ages a while back) Always Believe - The Ultimate Warrior Story (fooking hate WWE these days but loved this guy when I was a nipper ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekfaejapan Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 There's a good fly on the wall documentary called 'Knuckle' that's about Irish travelers who knock absolute fvck out each other...You'll feel better about yourself after watching it. Think it's from 2011-2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al1978 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 The Act of Killing and Capturing the Friedmans are two of the best.

brant grebner Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 "Tim's Vermeer" is really good, but not really about the OP's wish for stuff that shows how horrible the world is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Weight of Chains (documentary about the fall of Yugoslavia...

phart Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Keep them coming, some good ones. LArky i actually went and saw that one a bit ago on your suggestion, will source the rest and watch them. Touching the void is a good one to watch as well. Enron one is good as well.

TartanJon Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Where can I find that? Netflix .I think all those are on Netflix though I had seen the Alex Gibney ones before they were. Restrepo is worth a watch and with the likelihood of Britain getting fracked to feck then Gasland might be worth a view if you haven't seen it. Netflix had a good choice of documentaries the last time I logged in (about 4 months ago) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
