Must see documentaries..

That’s great news if still not tragic for all concerned!

When you list the facts of the case outside of Serial’s admittedly biased framing it’s almost impossible to think he didn’t kill her.

Still, he deserves to go free because the police withheld evidence.
I never listened to this when it came out but just binged it this week as off work and I've started to dive into box sets.
I didn't do any digging as I didn't want any spoilers (and I don't want to really end up down some conspiracy rabbit hole) but want to put a few faces to names I heard on the boxset.

Outside of the podcast framing, do the facts shed different light on this then?
Is it worth pursuing to see if other suspects were plausible?

Adnan seemed innocent from what we heard....but then again, it's entertainment we're listening to I suppose.

I watched this a good few years ago and it is brilliant.

It’s definitely in the category of “if you don’t know the real story then don’t Google it beforehand”.

On the subject of music documentaries, the new Creedence Clearwater Revival doc on Nextflix is very good. About half the running time is a Jeff Bridges voiceover over old footage and some good “at the time” interviews with the band, followed by about 45 mins of live footage from the Albert Hall in 1970.
I watched that a couple of weeks ago. It was great. Very down to earth guys.
 
I attempted to search it before posting.

Immigration nation, on Netflix is one of the most provoking documentaries I've ever seen.

The cook reports which can be found on YouTube touch on subjects that would never be touched again.
 
Went to HOME after work to watch a brilliant documentary, My Old School, about Brian McKinnon, a 32 year old man who passed himself off as a 16/17 year old and posed as a new pupil at a school in Glasgow. Duped everyone and got into medical school at Dundee Uni before he was unmasked.
Turned out he actually went to the same school 15 years or so before and was even taught by some of the same teachers
Mad mad story and brilliantly made by one of his old classmates. A selection at Sundance. Well worth watching when it comes to streaming


Just a heads up that this is being network premiered on BBC2 at 9pm on Friday 30th December, well worth keeping an eye out for
 
The Imposter - Amazing the mess/insanity that people will allow themselves to be drawn into. A 23 year old man living in Spain who takes the identity of a 16 year old American boy whose been missing for 3 years in America...you have to see it to get the craziness of it all.
