Alex James - The Cocaine Diaries

About this episode

Colombia now accounts for 62 per cent of the world's cocaine production, in a trade estimated to be worth US$70 billion worldwide. In this documentary former cocaine addict Alex James, bassist of Blur, travels to Colombia to see firsthand what the cocaine industry is doing to the country and its people. With near-unrestricted access, he meets the farmers, the sellers and the enforcers. His journey is particularly poignant - at the height of his addiction Alex admits to blowing a million pounds on cocaine: a fact put into perspective when he discovers that in Colombia, a single gram sells for just £1.

"Shut Up, Little Man!"

BrAb18J.jpg

Eh. It was about 30 minutes too long. That's mostly what I got from it.

It takes a look back at the story of two angry old men (one big gay, one little homophobe) and their incessant drunken arguing, which their two college-age neighbors decide to surreptitiously record. These pieces of audio verite go 'viral' in a time before the internet --- when tape trading reigned supreme. What initially starts off as a short mixtape for a few close friends turns into comic books, theatre plays, movies, and lawsuits. All revolving around these two old fogies, who unbeknownst to them, have created an underground phenomenon. I enjoyed it as a historical artifact, but it was lacking as a documentary.

Bulgaria's Abandoned Children (Full length)

part-1, Bulgaria's Abandoned Children Revisited

In 2007 the BBC documentary film 'Bulgaria's Abandoned Children caused an international outcry because the images of neglect were so shocking to witness in a country that had just become a member of the European Union. Bulgaria has more institutionalised mentally and physically disabled children than anywhere else in Europe. The film is a heart-rending and eye-opening look into the life of one institution.

Eighteen months after filming it, director Kate Blewett returned to Bulgaria in 2009 to film with a handful of the children featured in the original documentary, seeing where they are today and how their lives have changed since the outcry and changes brought about by the film.

The original documentary is set in a small Bulgarian village in an institute called Mogilino, a place where 75 unwanted disabled children are growing up. Many of them cannot walk or talk, not necessarily because they are unable to, but because they have been neglected and have never had the opportunity to learn. With extraordinary access, Blewett takes us into this tragic silent world.

The second half of the film takes the audience back to Bulgaria to see how the lives of the children have been transformed beyond recognition as a result of the public response to the film. It is testimony to the power of television to bring about concrete change, and also demonstrate how even apparently hopelessly withdrawn and 'damaged' children can be reached, helped and given a meaningful life and future with the right care.

pole that documentary made me want to pack up my basic belongings and move to mogilino to intimately care for the children. someday i might. their basic living conditions are disgusting and kindred to a concentration camp. they need and deserve a whole lotta love <3

Yeah Kytn, it was a real eye opener hey. I've done some work at group homes her for people with disabilities and it was good to know how much better care we provided for them.

This was eerie and freaky. I saw this a few years ago. I would love to know where they are now.
 
as recommended by slortaone. "under the boardwalk - the monopoly story" was fantastic and well exceeded my expectations. the actual history of monopoly during the depression is truly remarkable and was a personal stance against capitalism in a society of lost hope that still lives on and entertains so many today. watching this triggered a new found respect for the family board game that has lived on for 75 years and is still the number one board game of this generation (click above link for full free streaming).
