What's the best documentary you have ever seen ?

[jon1959]

Free solo is an excellent documentary and not as grim as some of those previously mentioned!

Second that. Saw it last year on the big screen and later bought it on DVD to re-watch. I was in a cold sweat through most of it. How didn't he kill himself 20 times over?

I'd also recommend you take a look at his brother's work. There's a brilliant 8 part series on New York by Ric, and Civil wAr which they both worked on.

What's it about ?

[WJ99mobile]

Anything on Netflix is usually drawn out and overdramatised but they do put it together well.

The best one for me is bowling for Columbine

Surprising number of people still fighting it

Post traumatic stress disorder is a terrible thing , someone I know was in the first Iraq conflict and suffered terribly for many years , was a drinker , big drugs user , violent but eventually went to his doctor for help and is now under the care of combat stress , he still has his bad periods when he needs to go to a retreat for some rest and relaxation but he copes , so many though takes their own lives or end up on the streets , poor bastards

Hypernormalisation, mentioned above, is great. I watched Don't Fu*k With Cats recently on Netflix...crazy

What's it about ?

Solo rock climbing without any ropes or anything else - a famous and very big rock face in the USA. Terrifying.

[AfricanBluebird]

That one Jon pilger did on the killing fields , christ it was grim but compelling

Yes. That was incredible. I visited the killing fields a few years back, inspired by the movie and also Johns documentary.

Senna was also quite a remarkable documentary

I loved Dawn Wall, had no idea of the story beforehand and it was so gripping.

This new Spike Jonze Beastie Boys documentary looks good https://variety.com/2020/music/news/...eo-1203531850/

King of Kong and Bowling For Columbine have already been said... so I'll add Hoop Dreams, Waiting For Superman, Sicko and Some Kind of Monster to the list.
