Thanks for the tip! I am pretty sure GRIZZLY MAN was intended w/ a straight face. Herzog has a sense of humor but he takes his documentary work veeery seriously. INTO THE ABYSS makes THIN BLUE LINE look like POM WONDERFUL PRESENTS...  :bluesad:

I always think of that part of King Kong: Fistful of Quarters when he was on track to beat the record but his son started crying about how he's constantly playing Donkey Kong. so much great stuff in that movie

I thought SATAN WANTS YOU (2023) about the Satanic Panic nonsense of the 80' was well done.

After a couple google searches I finally found the one I was looking for

Hex Hollow (2015) - This was about a 1920'a crime I'd never heard about over issues relating to Powwow, a type of Appalachian faith healing I had never heard of. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3145016/

I saw the trailer of that a few minutes ago and saw the book Michelle Remembers in it which I was allowed to read years ago. Scary but debunked.

OH! Dam!
How did I forget GIMME SHELTER (1970)?- a documentary on the infamous Rolling Stones concert at Altamont?
Also- WOODSTOCK (1970)- which my Ma was in attendance way back when.

I can highly recommend Project Nim, about the attempt to teach a chimp sign language in the 1970s.
"Once you get past a certain threshold, everyone's problems are the same: fortifying your island and hiding the heat signature from your fusion reactor."

When I was assisting on LONG NIGHT'S JOURNEY INTO DAY about the witch hunt trials in South Africa, the attitude of the filmmakers towards me was despicable.

As if the subject being researched wasn't uncomfortable enough, they informed me that they wanted no input from my side and that I should shut up as "We know your country's history better than you do" 😔

BEWARE OF MR BAKER (2012) about the life and career of drummer Ginger Baker. Brilliant musician, 💩 human being.

In addition to Ken Burns, I've also enjoyed TV series based on the works of Bill O'Reilly & Clive James...

My fave got to be Streetwise (1984)



Gritty documentary that looks at the lives of teenagers living on the streets of Seattle.
