The rise of Colombian soccer is attributed to the influx of drug money into the sport by Pablo Escobar and the other drug cartels. However, the team's swift decline after Escobar's death results in the murder of star player Andres Escobar.

"Jason Becker should have been a household name. A guitar prodigy from a young age, Jason burst onto the scene with his band Cacophony, garnering notice from the major industry players. In 1991 Becker was hired as lead guitarist in David Lee Roth s band, the most coveted guitar gig at the time, but Jason never made it on tour.

Shortly after recording the album, he was diagnosed with ALS and given five years to live.

Archival footage of Jason s rise to almost-stardom is given the exposure it deserves with this inspiring rock doc. More than 20 years later, Jason is still living strong and making music by communicating with his eyes.

A true testament to the strength and possibility of the human spirit."

There's one about an American who defected to North Korea during the Korean War, and has lived there ever since as a kind of human propaganda piece. You get to see a relatively "real" view of the country. Dunno the title, but it's by the people who made that film about North Korea's World Cup team.
 


The Startup Kids is a documentary about young web entrepreneurs in the U.S. and Europe. It contains interviews with the founders of Vimeo, Soundcloud, Kiip, InDinero, Dropbox, Foodspotting and many others who talk about how they started their company and their lives as an entrepreneur.

The movie is made by two Icelandic entrepreneurs, Vala Halldorsdottir and Sesselja Vilhjalmsdottir, who founded their first company shortly after the economic collapse of Iceland and wanted to motivate other young people to become entrepreneurs.
 


Greedmont TV presents a documentary by Corey Davis on a group crack addicts in Atlanta who live outside in a small cove behind a Texaco, infamously dubbed as the "Living Room." They share their stories and tell us what it's like to battle with a deadly addiction to crack-cocaine.

I remember watching that when it was on tv originally, no doubt knocking a desperate wank out =D

Watched this the other day, a documentary on Antarctica. I'm fascinated with the place, definitely one of the places I want to visit at some point

 
Syria's Torture Machine. It's quite on old documentary, but it really put's the Syrian Civil War in context (it's still on 4OD). It's a seriously shocking documentary with graphic footage describing Syria's brutal torture of anybody suspected of treachery. Very shocking. (Sorry, I'm not sure how to place links).

[video=youtube;Ac3f2M3WSKw]Sinn Fein - The Cocaine Connection
This documentary looks at the sinister relationship between the far-right Irish catholic fundamentalist terrorist group 'Sinn Fein' and the Colombian drugs cartel FARC.

The Howard Marks film with Rhys Evans touched on that, or a related aspect, with David Thewlis playing a larger than life IRA loon. Excellent film, if you haven't seen it.
