Recommend a Documentary v. David Attenborough!

The Square

I've been wanting to catch this one for some time. It's a great look into the Egyptian revolutions from the perspective of an assorted number of protesters.
 
Is that the one where people from all over come to harvest poppies and inject very raw, heavily contaminated morphine (refined opium, really)? I thought it was interesting, but I don't think I would have partaken in the festivities. Maybe I would garner a bit of smokeable opium and hang out though.
 
^^

Yeah that's the one. Only way I'd partake is if I brought the right chemicals with me, and equipment to produce some semblance of a safe/sterile mixture. Because technically, they weren't even making heroin. They were using vinegar to convert the opium, but it was only strong enough to convert it to morphine. So that's what they were banging all day and night.
 
^ that was a good one. like how it mentioned problems with drugs in society being illegal and they were all pretty chill just hanging out scraping poppy in there own lil' opium paradise.

here's one i have on atm "A Journey Into the Mind of P"

 
^That is what I meant. It's why I wrote the part about a bag(douche) having logistical issues throwing a baseball. Cause it's just a bag with no arms or a brain or much of anything else, you see....
I'm not saying it makes any sense. I don't remember what my thought process was at the time. Just that I did have a mental image of a actual douchebag with a Yankee cap on.
This is retarded. Haha.

I watched Union Square again last night. It's a great documentary that came out in 2003, directed by Stephen Szklarski. It shows a very real and raw look into the heroin culture and lives of a number of East Village NYC addicts. One of the best documentaries on heroin and addiction I've seen.

Union Square
 
Too many pages to check if it has previously been mentioned, but either way, it deserves to be recognised more than once:

Standing In The Shadows of Motown.

Doco on The Funk Brothers, Motown's number one house band.
 
i don't remember the name but vangard did one on oxycodone that was legit
 
really looking forward to this louis theroux LA stories: Continuing his diverse exploration of life in America, Louis looks at LA’s problem with neglected and feral dogs; the experiences of patients with life-threatening conditions at the city’s most famous hospital; and examines how California deals with sex offenders after they are released from prison.

 
Don't know if this was mentioned earlier, but "world at war" has to rank as amongst the best documentaries ever made, if only for its comprehensiveness (24x1 hour episodes) and its genuine effort at being objective - a documentary made at the height of the cold war which gives due credit to the ussr's leading role in defeating nazi germany deserves to be watched.

Other good docus (not drug-related, as those have already been covered) include:
- 50 years war (covers israel and the palestinian/arab conflict from 48-98)
- restrepo (Afghanistan)
- masters of money
- inside job

...will add more when I think of them...
