That´s horrible man. I´ve come to BL not to use heroin. Not to get a taste of it. Thus far, BL has really helped me, although I´m on Methadone, and of course other meds related to sleeping etc. But not heroin, as I intended to use beforehand.
Great video, it shows where all this shit comes from and how degraded people become when addicted.

Glad you enjoyed it (actually, in retrospect, "enjoy" might be the wrong word - glad you appreciated it). And best of luck with your recovery, sounds like you're making some good headway already :)
 
Maya Lin is a great documentary about the 21 year old architecture undergrad from Yale that designed the Viet Nam war memorial. She then went on to design, at the request of Morris Dees, the Civil Rights Memorial in Alabama. I don't think I have ever been so impressed with an artist's confidence. Her vision is profound and stunning and her confidence is like nothing I have ever seen before in a person of that age. (The film spanned 10 years in her career but the footage of her standing up in front of the angry vets, screaming journalists and posturing politicians, looking all of 11 or 12 years old and calmly holding her own, is pretty inspiring.)

"The Act of Killing": These guys are fucked up in so many ways. Tarantino couldn't create them better.

Someone tell me they aren't for real.

Documenting the invention of morphine with the always wonderful Michael Mosley - I've seen him self experiment with everything from NO2 to psilocybin in the name of good documentary making. Haven't watched this yet but it's sure to be a cracker.

Pain, Pus & Poison - The Search For Modern Medicines 1: Pain (2013)

Yup - he doesn't disappoint. Gets injected with sodium pentothal to test out it's properties as a truth serum. Also recounts the interesting history of heroin's invention. Y'all will enjoy this one I reckon
 
^^ Saw that was on one of the catch up sites - is it the kid who topped himself after releasing a shit load of pirated academic journals? Good?
 
Yeah that's the guy. I really liked it. Really smart dude, shame he got so boxed in over bullshit charges, it's really worth watching imo.
 
^ Love it, seen it many times, what an era that was.

'wild style' is also great and 'stations of the elevated' which has been re done recently I think and I cant wait to see the newer version eventually.

 
The Machine That Changed the World - charts the invention of the Olivetti Programma 101, the world's first personal computer. A fascinating and strangely heartwarming tale of 5 Italian engineers

Staub. It's a German documentary on dust (as in, fine particulate matter - of all kinds). It's beautifully philosophical and detailed. Can't quite put it into words - but I'd never have thought a documentary about dust would be as interesting as it is.

A search of the thread yielded no results, so sorry if this has already been mentioned. It's a very sad documentary, but was worth watching. It was called "Very Young Girls" and was about the current state of prostitution and how often young girls are tricked into getting into the life. These 2 pimps or whatever had made a documentary that they wanted to sell to HBO about how they were going around and getting girls to prostitute for them. Girls that were maybe 13, 14 years old. They got arrested for it, but some of their footage was in the documentary. It was disturbing.

That was disturbing and sad. What fuckwits. What did it say they got at the end, 10 or 15 yrs. Good, should have been longer.
