EPTI like National Geographic doc on NK. Cult of personality and indoctrination system was amazing. Tells you a lot about moral relativity. Basically these men are gods and everyone there is willing to die for the dear leader.
Anything Frontline.
Awesomely entertaining documentaries - Page 6

WARNING: Might not like the answer. + Show Spoiler + Religulous: Bill Maher's crusade against organized religion continues. It's important to note he claims to hold the position of doubt or agnostic, but his bias comes out and he appears to be atheistic. All in all, a very entertaining and funny documentary. + Show Spoiler + Jesus Camp: After I saw this for the first time it affirmed my conviction against organized religion. While I do recognize that this film only portrays the radical extremists, I do not trust the moderate believers from being influenced by these people. If you live in America (especially middle-America), you need to see this because the people in this documentary might be your neighbor. + Show Spoiler + People Like Us: Social Class in America I am just wrapping up my undergraduate degree in Sociology and this documentary typifies my love and interest in the study of people and social interaction. Pleeeeease watch this documentary it will give you a view of a world right in front of your eyes that you never knew existed. + Show Spoiler + Cocaine Cowboys I have not seen this, but a close friend of mine had to analyze it for class and recommended it highly. + Show Spoiler + Nice selection. Very nice. Organized religion gets a bad wrap IMO. It's made me what I am to a large degree. I am non judgmental tho and try and live like Jesus said with charity, helping the meek and otherwise doing unto others as... well you know the rest. Islam/Judiasm all have something to offer as well - much of the mores tenants and atmospherics of life today are based on those ancient philosophers. So be careful about besmirching a whole group - makes you not much different from the judgmental fundis in that video.  | ||

![[image loading]](http://laist.com/attachments/la_simone/gonzo_poster.jpg) This was recently aired in Norway (for Norwegians: http://www.nrk.no/nett-tv/klipp/679147/ , don't know if its accessible outside Norway). Mind-blown out of proportions http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0479468/ Excerpt from user-review@imdb: All in all, it is a well-balanced account of Thompson's life and work, with many pertinent interviewees like his two wives and son, Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone, Sonny Barger of the Hell's Angels, Jimmy Buffett, George McGovern, Jimmy Carter, Pat Buchanan, Tom Wolfe, and various Aspenites. His passion and wit were undeniable, and his addiction to guns, booze and dope were in many ways forgivable. But his absence in today's disastrous political scene, his voice against war and corruption is sorely missed, and lamented by several of the interviewees. The parallels between Nixon and Bush are easily drawn, and "Gonzo" does this without hammering the point home except to exhort the audience to take up the fight that the Good Doctor waged in a seemingly crazy, but noble and honorable way for most of his life. | ||

Hunter S Thompson is fascinating. ![[image loading]](http://hikinglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/touching-the-void.jpg) I hadn't watched this before my initial post, and went about watching it after reading through this thread. This shit is fucking incredible. I recommend everyone watch it. Also, This came on netflix this/last week. Another great documentary. It's by the same guy who did Enron: The smartest guys in the room. Warning: may further your believe that the American legislative is absolutely hopeless. ![[image loading]](http://beat.bodog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/CasinoJack2.jpg) | ||

Didn't see this mentioned but John Sweeny's Panorama on Scientology (both the old and new one) was pretty cool. | ||

Frustrated and disappointed is where I'm at, I suppose. They talk about "thousands" of social groups in the US, but focus on one and then mention maybe... 3 others? All of which are predominantly consisting of white people. More diversity, plz. | ||

Marjoe Docu about Marjoe, a kid who was forced by his parents to preach hell and damnation to confessionalist America - if he didn't want to do it his mum would smother him in a pillow while his dad told people a story about how Jesus had touched his son. Marjoe fled into hippie California in his teens but he comes back to preaching for this documentary, showing what a fraud and shenaniganry make up the evangalist church. It's on YouTube in full. Audience of One Docu about a Pentecost vicar who received a vision from God about having to make a film that was to be the "Star Wars or Christianity". The docu follows the film crew, funded by churchgoer's gifts to a set in Italy. Throughout the film it becomes painfully apparent how deceited the director guy is. Embarrassingly funny and sad at the same time. Deliver us from Evil Docu about a Catholic priest and his victims who show us the contrast between how being raped as a child utterly and totally destroys one's life versus the paradox between feeling regret and having God on your side. Utterly disgusting. | ||

But according to her interpretation of the bible she's desperately trying to save our souls from an eternity in hell. God I wish I lived near that area just so I could make there life a living hell. I would love to get on there picket lines with funny signs, or just get in an argument with them. | ||

Had to stop at 3 minutes in to that louis theroux. That is not a documentary: documentries are meant to show and teach you stuff not make you a raging wreck and ruin your weekend. Don't think this was here yet, I'm not sure if this is so much a documentary but it's highly interesting & enjoyable stuff. | ||
