Been watching quite a lot of these recently and had my eyes opened re what is actually going on in the world. Here's a few that I've watched and consider to have done what I mention above.... Blackfish- about The capture of Orca's, sold onto Seaworld and the dramatic consequences thereafter. Another was The Cove, looking into Japan's annual slaughter of dolphins. Dirty Wars is a film by an investigative journalist, Jeremy Scahill, who uncovers Americas illegal killings in different countries, (I'm reading his book, Blackwater.) Finally one I just finished watching, Zeitgeist, about the links between organised religion, global finance markets and the international power structure.
Wondered if anyone else had watched any of these or could recommend something they considered as good??

King of Kong, Senna, Project Nim, Food Inc and When We WereKings are my personal faves.

The Corporation (a Canadian documentary on the power wielded by corporations - more so that governments - yet they are unelected) - not by the dude that did Ferenheit 911 (Michael Moore) but he had some lesser involvement. Powerful still despite being made a few years ago.

Meant to say I watched Zeitgeist: Addendum, which is the follow up to the first film. Another really well put together documentary with fascinating insights into how the good old US of A go about bankrupting countries with economic hitmen, jackals, and the military.... This world of ours is ****ed up.

Murderball - what to do if you break your neck playing rugby;
Harlan County, USA- the story of a coal strike in Kentucky in 1975;
Into the Abyss - Werner Herzog on the life and death of a triple murder on Death Row in Texas.
Louis Theroux's always entertaining and thought-provoking as well.

Kevin MacDonald has directed two of my favourite documentaries
"One Day in September" about the murder of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics by Palestinian Terrorists.
"Touching the Void" about a climber who was given for dead by his mate.
Also "Bobby Fischer Against the World" about the life of the first american to win the World Chess championship in 1972, just a bit of a complex character.

I've recently watched The Cove (about dolphin slaughter in Japan), The Imposter (young american lad went missing, guy in spain claims to be him, the family accept him in, it's not him) and West of Memphis (3 teenage boys charged with the murder of 3 young boys, and the campaign to have them freed).
All good, but West of Memphis was my favourite. I'd never heard of it, which surprises me given the celebs they had on board.

I watched Bill Baileys Jungle Hero on Netflix today.
All about Alfred Russell Wallace who was an amateur naturalist and collector who explored Borneo, New Guinea etc and proposed the theory of evolution and published it jointly with some of Darwins work.
Darwin went on to publish the Origin of Species and was lauded by the scientific edtablishment. As a rich, graduate of a suitable background of course he was. Wallace was self taught, a mere collector and left school at 14 and was largely forgotten despite playing a huge role in our understanding of natural history.

After reading this thread I watched 'West of Memphis' which was excellent and just finished 'Into the Abyss' which again I thought was excellent. There is something about watching documentaries that is so different to watching a fictional film and you just seem to get a bit more satisfaction having watched something that is real and about real people, not people that are made up. But also a feeling that is hard to describe, like after 'West of Memphis' there was the feeling that the real killer is out there and from what the film was suggesting he should be behind bars or even on death row, but he is not and you wonder why. Trying to work out what to watch next.

Kids for cash is another very good film. About a juvenile court judge who hands out harsh sentences for minor offences.
However the best one I watched was All this Mayhem. About 2 brothers who make it in pro skateboarding before hitting the self destruct button. I'm not a big fan of skateboarding, never really was, but this film is riveting. :top marks

there is an excellent book on this true story..worth a read...
Africans in America: America's journey through slavery.
It's a four part documentary on YouTube of the North American element of the transatlantic slave trade starting at the very beginning, which involves the first settlements. I've just watched the third episode after knowing very little about the whole subject and it's a real eye opener. The frustration you feel is only matched by the contradictions of people who wrote that "all men are created equal".
It's really long and not for those without a lot of time on their hands but mans inhumanity towards his fellow man in the new world fascinates me for some reason. Maybe because it's glossed over with things like Columbus Day etc...

"When the FA Banned Women" was on BBC4 recently. Claire Balding (who is, in my opinion, one of the best and most intelligent of contemporary sports journalists) on the rise and fall of women's football during and immediately after the First World War. A real eye-opener on the subject of a real injustice.
I had no idea.

Ive watched quite a few over the last couple days.
'among the believers'. Interviews and on site filming with extremists in islamabad. Interesting look at the situation from different perspectives with some unbelievable views.
'el fin De ETA'. Interesting look at the efforts to bring their murdering to an end.
'the wolfpack', Is bizarre story. It features a group of film obsessed kids in New York who were basicaly imprisoned by their dad. Access to leave varied from 0 - 7 times per year and was forbidden on their own.
'the truth about alcohol'. A lot of it basicaly recovered common knowledge. Its made me consider my habits though.

Bumping this thread to see if anybody has some recommendations for documentaries. Im a sucker for good conspiracy documentaries but like anything thats a bit dark and messed up.

I watched one a while ago on Netflix about the flat earth society. It’s utterly insane, but it’s entertaining watching these people trying to justify their madness.

Last two I have watched are Bob Lazar, about some whistleblower from area 51, a bit repetitive but fascinating at the same time, then watched wild wild country, really enjoyed it, some guru convinces thousands of people to join his not so quite religious cult, crazy story of deception, egos and strange going ons
Last one could actually be a documentary about hearts

Started watching the Bob Lazar one, looks pretty good so far.
Wild Wild Country was extremely strange, but enjoyed it.
I watched one called Cartel Land a while back which was horrific viewing, but a really good documentary.

I watched the Bob Lazar one as well, I really enjoyed it even if I was a bit sceptical watching it.

I've seen that. It's brilliant when they devise scientific experiments to prove the earth is flat. They then get evidence to the contrary and then try again as they must have got something wrong.
No, the earth just isn't flat!!

The two guys who spent tens of thousands of dollars on lasers to prove there was no curvature on the sea bed where my favourites.
Utterly deluded and determined to waste even more money to prove the results of their own experiment were wrong. Fools and their money.

Not sure if this counts as a documentary but I’ve been watching a few of the James English podcasts on his YouTube channel.
Perhaps not to everyone’s liking but having watched those focussing on Paul Ferris, Frank McAvennie, Andy Goram and the Luke Mitchell case I’m glad I put my initial reservations to the side.
