Devil's Playground. It's about Amish kids getting loose. When they are teenagers, Amish people go out into the real world to decide whether or not they want to be Amish. They can leave the Amish with no shame if they want to. It's crazy though, some of the kids get hooked on smack, other ones get arrested, it's truly a whole new world.

[lord_casek]

let's keep this a non 9/11 thread if we can.

there are plenty of great documentaries that
are worth posting up.

isnt there a thread about good documentaries in ch.0?

This astonishingly intimate documentary follows five homeless children in Romania, where the collapse of communism has led to a life on the street for 20,000 children. From a 16-year-old girl who runs her gang with a mixture of brutality and compassion, to a small, intelligent, and remarkably articulate 12-year-old boy, these children seem at first feral and frightening--yet over the course of the movie their loneliness, desperation, and glimpses of hope will transform how you perceive them. Make no mistake: this is difficult watching. As Children Underground explores the meager state resources to support these children and follows some of the children back to their difficult families, the scope of the problem becomes larger and more irresolvable. But this documentary offers an unblinking and deeply compassionate insight into the extremes of human existence; you will not forget it easily. --Bret Fetzer

Product Description
Easily one of the most astonishing and engaging cinematic works of the past decade, CHILDREN UNDERGROUND is a profoundly intimate and heart-wrenching drama -- an Academy Award Nominee for Best Documentary Feature in 2001, and winner at nearly every major

"Sex, Drugs, and Democracy"

This documentary is about Holland (mostly Amsterdam...) and how they basically do things differently than the U.S...... They compare their system of government, drug laws, prostitution, etc. Great footage. I believe it's about 12 years old or so.......Might be kinda hard to find, but definitely worth the look. Maybe Netflix???????

"cocaine cowboys".......peep game on that. Definately worth your time.

have you seen the dudes that made loose change attempt to defend their views against actual intelligent opponents? it's so pathetic they just get all worked up and sooky like spoiled dumb little college students

the voice over on loose change is iritating as fuck.

yes, dylan avery's voice does sound rather homosexual. and cracks quite a bit for a man in his 20's.

[Theo.Huxtable]

i saw that. they were getting worked up and acting like immature post-college kids. coughing and laughing and breathing hard when they couldn't refute a point. that one dude whose face was greasy as hell was all pissed, losing his composure and acted like he wanted to punch his debating opponents.

in the meanwhile his opponents were calm, complacent, and simply provided the facts. they obviously held the moral highground.

look for kennedy's last speech, it rings of tones of eisenhower's farewell address.

[russell jones]

Kennedy also admitted his failure in the Bay of Pigs invasion. I'm surprised Bush doesn't run around in circles with his fingers in his ears when someone talks about failures in Iraq.

theo

when one begins to feel moral superiority, what ensues is a egocentric way of social interactions. this is to say that now my ideas are better, more sound and or logical than yours. therefore my idea should live on in perpetuity. where will this lead? many times into a dead end. delusion of grandeur. however looking back in history we find many cases of extreme moral superiority which were, are disastrous. look at the great empires. why did they conquer? they held socio centric world views. their society was better than the next, therefore they felt entitled to the booty.

should i continue? or do you get my drift?

[earl broclo ESQ]

"lost boys of sudan" --it's about two teenage refugees from sudan, who come to america and try to adapt to our culture. it's slow, might be boring for some, but if you look at the overall affect this country has on them (in an all around way), than it's pretty impressive. i don't want to ruin anything, but it shows how one adapts to a sort of suburban christian lifestyle, and the other deals with poverty and despair.

someone said "dark days" up above. i'll agree --that fucking movie is on point. get the dvd and watch the bonus features. how that movie was made was more inspiring than anything i've seen in the documentary world.

I agreed with pretty much everything in this video. And no "inside job" conspiracy theories about 9/11 either. Great shit.

[REST!]

I made a documentary on Chicago graffiti.....its 50 minutes long....alot of interviews with old school and new school writers.....all about Chicago and the Buff Squad.....email me at [email protected] if your interested in getting a copy...im selling them for $10 each....peace.

[lord_casek]

theo, i noticed there's a 9/11 commission report video at blockbuster.
know anything about it?

[Theo.Huxtable]

No, never heard of it. Is it an official 9/11 Commission Report video, or some independent documentary about the commission report?

BTW, you ever read this?

http://www.bbcf.ca/_images/book_reviews/bookreview_addicted_to_war.jpg

[lord_casek]

don't know, theo. it reads "the 9/11 commission report: the attacks could have been stopped"
or something like that.

no, haven't read that book. will check it out in the near future.

[Theo.Huxtable]

it's read like a comic book. but very informative and interesting.

goes pretty much along the same lines as the "Why We Fight" documentary

[lord_casek]

cool. i'll be going to the bookstore soon.

I have the Dark Days DVD and after watching it a few times i want to get rid of it. Anyone want to trade for another DVD?

[ibfamily]

id be interested what you loking for

[john_gacy]

yeah dark days is amazing and if you want to read up on people under the subway tunnels in NYC then read "mole people"

Also The Tunnel by Margaret Morton. The Mole People is by Jennifer Toth (I think) but had some controversy around it that she didn't go as far beneath the surface as she makes it seem. And since books were mentioned and the thread title doesn't mention a form of media, I liked a book called Cocaine True, Cocaine Blue, it's also a photodocumentary like The Tunnel but about inner city coke/crack use.

Well, popular mechanics has been debunked science that.

Information changes daily. New evidence comes to light, certain people start confessing.

In my opinion, Loose Change was well done. Has anyone here tried to make a documentary in a group before? It seems easy doesn't it?

there was the great basketball documentary from the early 90's i think which followed two kids from their early life through their high school playing days and so on. i haven's seen it in ages and have forgotten the name any ideas?

[earl broclo ESQ]

i highly recommend this documentary: if someone already posted it, sorry.
http://sinfield.org/images/p1_bus174.jpg
it's about a street kid who hijacks a bus while robbing it. the police surround it, and the media captuers the whole day. the filmmakers then take the kid's back story, and pan it out through the time line of the event.
