The Trials of Darryl Hunt (2006) - Another extreme miscarriage of justice documentary. Really well put together and the characters within the story really make the documentary.

You would want to be interested in that sort of thing, it goes for almost an hour and a half, but it's a doco that should be shown to all school kids. It probably won't change too many of them, but it is healthy education.

Louis Theroux's 2nd LA Stories documentary on dying / terminal illness that just came out is one of his best. Hard to watch and puts everything into perspective. Extraordinary ending too.
I'm not a huge fan of some of his stuff, but this was good. As you said, hard for some to watch, but very well done.

Worth watching and very interesting but not as much impact as the terminal illness one. The sex offenders one has some tense interviews...a few people taking issue with Louis' interview style.

The English Surgeon (2007) - Moving documentary about English brain surgeon Henry Marsh and his travels and work in Ukraine with his colleague Igor Petrovich. They know they're up against it but they keep at it. Great stuff!

Just watched this. Think it;s well worth a watch. An hour long documentary about a group of 26 refugees moving into Chile, follows the first year of their lives in Chile and it's quite surprising how it ends up compared to their expectations when they first got there.

I'm still looking for the Cosmic Psychos documentary "Blokes You Can Trust".
I don't suppose anyone could point me in the right direction?
