Engineering an Empire. Awesome series.
share"Oswald's Ghost." I just love this one because it totally pulled the rug out from under the conspiracy theorists. It spent the better part of an hour building towards a definitive conspiracy theory, only to say in the end, "Man, shut up. There is no conspiracy. It was Oswald the entire time." Reading the IMDB reviewers blow a gasket is hysterical.
"JFK: 3 Shots That Changed America." This is probably THE best JFK assassination documentary ever made. It's done "Atomic Cafe" style. There's no narration, no interviews, no anything. It's just raw news footage of the events leading up to the assassination and what happened in the years afterward.
"Four Days in November," the very first movie about the JFK assassination.
"One Day in September," about the Munich massacre. Very chilling.
"I Am Not Your Negro," based on the writings of James Baldwin and his views on race in America.
"Oswald's Ghost' was based on the Norman Mailer book. Mailer went looking for a conspiracy but in the end he realized the conspiracies were just too fantastical.
shareMY LIFE AS A TURKEY (2011) by PBS program NATURE:
It is an engaging romp through the wilderness depicting the real scope and time of events of a man raising the game fowl from hatchling to maturity. It demonstrates the instincts turkeys are capable of having and how emotional bonds can form when one is dedicated to act as the "mother".
As usual, it's not a job description that's meant to last. Eventually all youth must depart the nest. This is not a Hollywood production, nor is it an indie film scraped hastily together in someone's backyard. If not for the sheer enjoyment of watching the birds forge and frolic, the natural scenery is tastefully peaceful, though not in a hippy-dippy sort of way, because animals attack! These wild turkeys are no exception to that concept.
