This is a quasi-meme. If you have Netflix, go to your queue and look in the “Genre” column for documentaries. Pick 5 and post them. It’s okay if you post less than 5, but not more, so we can keep things tidy! Personally I have a lot more than 5, I love documentaries. That’s why I’m forcing this meme upon you – so I can see what documentaries I might have missed and would want to add to my queue. If you don’t have Netflix, and post them. You can post as a comment to this entry, or as an entry in your own journal.
Here’s my 5:
I remember watching “Touching the Void” and finding it very compelling. It’s about two hikers in the Andes where one breaks his leg, and in order to survive, the one hiker makes the decision to cut the rope that attaches the two (a big no-no in hiking, you NEVER cut the rope). It won a lot of awards.
On the political front, I’ve heard great things about “Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Prices”. I’ve never shopped at walmart and I think this documentary sums up the best reason why not to.
