Derrick J’s Victimless Crime Spree, is a documentary chronicling liberty activist Derrick J Freeman’s exciting first year of activism in The Shire. 540 days in jail for dancing, smoking cannabis, going to court, and riding a bike.

Victimless Crime Spree ended with his dramatic arrest and incarceration for 60 days. All of his crimes were documented and transformed into a 90-minute film.
After volunteering for 5 years on a crisis helpline and working as a fundraiser for Greenpeace and the ACLU, Derrick J left his gayborhood in Philadelphia for Keene, NH in 2011 when Molyneaux, Rand, and Mises flipped on his “Liberty light-switch.”

Once in Keene he became a regular cohost of the nationally syndicated talk radio show Free Talk Live as well as initiating and participating in several other freedom-enhancing endeavors such as one-on-one outreach, videography, Fr33 Agents Radio News, Flaming Freedom, Live Free Or Dance parties, Cop-Blocking, blogging, and Agorism.

I second that statement.

I haven't read through all 20 pages but Small Planet Documentaries are fantastic. If any of you are familiar with the television channel CurrentTV, Small Planet is behind the hour and a half special they always show called Worlds Biggest Gangs about 18th Street (and a few others focused on Mexican drug cartels and illegal immigrants but I can't recall the names of those at the moment.) They cover such a broad material base that I'm confident a documentary fan of any sort will be able to find something of theirs interesting/enlightening/worth taking the time to watch. I would post their site but, as filmmakers are wont to do, they also sell their documentaries there, so I feel like linking to them would be considered sourcing.

For anyone interested, just Google "Small Planet documentary" and they'll be the first hit in your results. If you like documentaries (especially humanitarian-based) then I'm fairly certain you won't be disappointed with their works.

The documentary interviews various men and women connected to the Hollywood industry to comment on various film clips and their own personal experiences with the treatment of LGBT characters in film. From the sissy characters, to the censorship of the Hollywood Production Code, the coded gay characters and cruel stereotypes to the changes made in the early 1990s.
Vito Russo wanted his book to be transformed into a documentary film and helped out on the project until he died in 1990. Some critics of the documentary noted that it was less political than the book and ended on a more positive note. However, Russo had wanted the documentary to be entertaining and to reflect the positive changes that had occurred up to 1990.

I caught this on LoveFilm last week and I found it quite eyeopening.
 
I really enjoyed 'special when lit'
it's on netflix
Special When Lit rediscovers the lure of a lost pop icon: pinball. This award-winning documentary joins fans, collectors, designers and champion players from around the globe who share the story of a phenomenon that once swept the world.

apparently pinball was illegal from like the 1930s-1970s

makes me wish I grew up during the pinball/arcade era
 
^ Was "Pinball Wizard" played at any point in that movie? If not, I refuse to watch it because somebody really dropped the (pin)ball.
 
they definitely made a reference to 'tommy'

almost positive they didn't play pinball wizard though, even though 'tommy' might be my all time favorite album, glad they didn't play it
