Good documentaries, lectures & talks

Yep, agree with Louis...he's amazeballs http://louistheroux.com/


If you want to see a good lecture, be near me when my kids are complaining, I give a fantastic "when I was your age" speach

 

Ooops, that's what I get for not having the updated plug-in. Lol. Thanks.

LOL. Do you ever utter the phrase "Sonny boy" or "whippersnapper"?

 

You know it's going to be a good one when I start off with either mate or child

 

They are just plain evil.

I watched the other two you posted. Jail/prison is a fucked up place to be. I would never make it in there.

 

I recommend Trinity And Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie. It shows the development of nuclear weapons. I bought a three dvd set that included Atomic Journeys, a documentary about nuclear test sites in states other than New Mexico and Nevada as well as scenes of tests from other countries. It will surprise you. Rounding off the series is Nukes In Space: The Rainbow Bombs. All three were narrated by William Shatner and it had a great musical score by William Stromberg and Jonathan Morgan, performed by the Moscow Symphany Orchestra. The special features are an eye opener, too. Check all three out.

 

Standing In the Shadows Of Motown. Excellent movie.

I recommend The Loving Story, Standing In The Shadows Of Motown, Trinity And Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie, Atomic Journeys and Nukes In Space.

 

I've been watching a lot of PBS docs lately. So far my favorites are Ric Burn's New York and Ken Burn's Jazz. Right now I'm watching Slavery and the Making of America, narrated by Morgan Freeman. I like this because it gets into the Revolutionary War and even discusses Colonel Tye, a Loyalist who terrorized New Jersey.

Hidden colors 1&2 should be required viewing for the black men on here. It's a real eye opener and sheds light on history you weren't told in school.

 

Went to the Full Frame Festival and saw documentaries like Standing 20 feet from Stardom,Citizen Koch,and ones I wished to see like Mussle Sholes,Doc Remus,and Free Angela Davis and all Political Prisoners.

 

Some short films I enjoy.
