Night Will Fall

This is a very special documentary because it contains never before released footage of WWII and the Holocaust and it's also a film directed by Alfred Hitchcock.



http://www.c2meworld.com/creation/ne...caust-footage/

Sidney Bernstein, chief of the Psychological Warfare Film Section of SHAEF, commissioned the film. Those involved in the production included Alfred
Hitchcock and renowned editor Stewart McAllister. “No German can say he didn’t know,” insists the commentary, co-written by Richard Crossman, the future cabinet minister

Ultimately, these sentiments were judged by the British Government to be unsuitable to the bridge-building mood towards Germany. The film was never shown.

I just finished The Salt of the Earth:



After a great introductory 5 minutes, there's a slow half hour, but it eventually turned into a truly captivating film.

Also watched Muscle Shoals yesterday. Just outstanding. If you are interested at all in classic rock and R&B it is a must see.

Also, any fans of Drive-by Truckers will love this as you can feel yourself physically viewing the inspiration for much of Patterson Hood's early songwriting.

Watched that a few months ago and wow, yeah, what a ride.

Once again it always reminds me that racists are excellent at walking that line and pushing people's buttons to make them cross it.

Default O.J.: Made in America

This was a five part series on ESPN. CTV was airing it over the last week. I have watched the first 4 parts. Very detailed, extremely well done. Each part is about 2 hours long. Focuses on the civil rights concerns of the Black community in America, and builds into the career of OJ and how he met Nicole.

CBC is rerunning the "Hell or High Water" doc right now so we're watching that. Didn't see it the first time it aired.

When I heard about this documentary I was totally confused how they figured they could stretch this into a 5 part series.

After watching it, it's probably my favourite 30 for 30 (close with The Two Escobars) and probably one of the best documentaries I've ever watched in my life.

Incredible show.

Yeah I didn't see how they could drag it out over 7.5 hours either, but the whole thing turned out to be quite riveting. So much more to it than the typical crime documentary.

Fair warning though -- the episode (3 or 4 I believe) that details the murder itself doesn't leave much to the imagination. It's briefly extremely graphic with the crime scene photos.

And FYI all -- that "Welcome to Leith" documentary is running on Netflix Canada right now.

Yeah, those images from the murder scene are horrific.

However, it's so effective to really drive home just how brutal the act was. The murder was central, but the victims really became secondary during the whole mess. This pushes it right in your face.

Zero Days is out, a documentary on the Stuxnet virus. Pretty good, a lot of the core of the show is based on an amalgamation of anonymous sources though, so it's a little less of a punch.

Yeah Fastball was really good too. There's a Knuckleball documentary, but the Fastball one is better.

I just watched a funny little documentary on Netflix called The Irish Pub. It's just over an hour. The history in most of those places is so rich, many run by 4th or 5th generations.

Excellent recommendation and a really good watch, quote the culture they've got in those vintage Irish pubs. No music, no TV and no women!
