Must see documentaries..

Once upon a time in northern ireland has been unbelievable viewing. Up there with Vietnam for me.

Growing up it was on the news daily about bombings, shootings etc. brought it all back.

There still appears to be some hateful cunts on both sides

I'm part way through the 5th.

I know there was a British Army veteran who featured in the first episode but the main focus was on arriving in the 60s and incfeased dangers during late 60s and early 70s. The UDR vet in the 4th focused mainly on the dangers she faced at home.

There are other docs out there but it would have been good to hear more insight on how troops felt throughout the 70s, 80s and early 90s. Kit they carried, piss and shit being thrown at them, risks on patrol, getting in and out of that observation post at the top of divis, working in bandit Country (Armagh) etc.

Appreciate the focus being on the people of NI but the British forces paid a heavy price during the troubles.

There's a huge amount of content they could have utilised.

Did several tours during the 80’s, brave bastards those UDR soldiers

Here's a four part documentary that will make you binge watch to the very end. How they filmed and pieced together this incredible nature documentary is beyond the exceptional. The largest group of chimpanzees ever discovered have built a society deep in the forest of Ngogo, Uganda, but ambition and neighboring rivals threaten to destabilize their empire.

Chimp Empire


Narrated by Academy Award Winner Mahershala Ali and directed by Academy Award winner James Reed, Co-Director of My Octopus Teacher.

Looks like a mix of Peaky Blinders and Gangs of New York but with Chimps. I’m in!

Interesting to watch if only to see how much things have changed

Netflix’s Wham! doc plays like a greatest hits album and nothing more – review

Even when George Michael’s sexuality becomes more relevant to the historic trajectory of Wham!, the film refuses to foreground the human element

Val - documentary on the films and life of Val Kilmer.

An unusual structure in that a lot of it is made up of home video that Val Kilmer has filmed over the years. It alternates between the videos and his life now as he continues to recover from throat cancer, meaning that he has to speak with a voice box.

Never boring, fascinating, touching and humorous, a different type of documentary that’s well worth a watch.

I actually quite enjoyed this. My wife wanted to watch it and I wasn’t so sure but thought it was a good watch. Took me back to the Youth Club disco! Last Christmas was a winner there for a slow dance :-)
