Biopics / Documentary Films #1
Our old documentaries thread was lost so I started a new one. This is a general thread, that means in here you can discuss any documentary.
 The last documentary I watched was Murder By Numbers on IFC. This is a documentary about serial killers in movies. While it was interesting, I felt it lacked some more depth. It was more of a catalog of performances with some discussion, but I'm a discussion junkie so I wanted more of it. However, it's worth a look. __________________

A few months ago HBO aired Hot Coffee, a documentary about the famous McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit as well as other cases. I thought the doc was engaging and fairly informative.

I recently watched Pururambo in my Anthropology seminar.
It was very poignant and unreserved as it told the story of the "tree people" of the Philippines. It was a fascinating topical depiction of the lives of modern-day foragers, and gave me a nice new perspective on the un-Westernized world. It depicted the tribal world from first being discovered to at last being targeted by Christian missionaries, a really sort of bittersweet passage. I would highly recommend it. __________________

I watched Blackfish yesterday. Has anyone else seen it? It was very intense.
