Watched Dark Days the other day, it's about a group of homeless people in NYC who live under the subway. Made me grateful for what I have when you see how these poor fuckers are living

Somoeone mentioned it earlier but Cocaine Cowboys is insane
What went on in miami in the early 80's was brutal
Brilliant gangster doc and proves truth is more hardcore than any fiction

Also the 'our war' docs on iplayer are immense. I can really relate to these young british lads, who unfortunately are dying for us out in afghan. Brave isnt the word for these boys, only kids most of them

Its the only tv doc thats nearly got me crying

Recently watched the Aryan Brotherhood Documentary on Netflix US that was a good watch, especially when you hear the guys who "got out" speaking against them.

Also watched a docu about MS-13, which from what I can tell is just a huge collection of druig selling murderers.

Anyone seen the 30 from 30 ESPN documentaries, although a lot are based on American sport there are a few others in there as well, I watched one on US Netflix the other night about the real Rocky Balboa. Stallone actually based the films on this guy but then tried to deny it, he got sued and eventually settled out of court, how he could deny it was staggering.

They are brilliant, I've seen a few but my favorite has to be The Two Escobars. An absolutely brilliant documentary about the drug money influencing Colombian football.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but the Bill Clinton documentary on the Bbc Iplayer is really good, 3 episodes ,1st being his rise to power, 2nd his politics and last episode about 'that affair' , it's very well put together.

Just read a review of this and it looks really interesting. Hadn't heard of it before and Im going to try to watch it.

The Civil War by Ken Burns. A rather lengthy documentary on the US Civil War. Not everyone's cup of tea as it is something like 10 hours long and goes into some serious detail, but the interviews (especially with Shelby Foote) are excellent. Soundtrack is pretty damn good as well.

From a military stand point is just shocking the blending of out of date tactics with modern weaponry and the carnage it produced. Every facet of the war from political to International relations is touched. If you have the interest and the time watch it.
