Hi Smile

I haven't watched a good documentary in ages and wondering if anyone can link me to one please if allowed?
Or just mention the name and I'll search it myself
If I'm not allowed to post this most please delete and sorry for breaking the rules.
Any doc will do as long as it is a good one Smile

Thanks Smile

Ya the universe 1 and 2 series are good.. still NOWHERE near as good as the bbc one in terms of production values and entertainment thou

The universe has more substance.. just not presented anywhere nearly aswel.

(From what i can tell SPACE is a join UK/New Zealand/American venture and SPACE is 100% American..)

BBC - Space Race is also good

good mini review of sicko ...

Quote:
Sicko

I'm still trying to figure out why this movie hasn't changed the country. Mostly free of the attention grabbing theatrics that have kept people from connecting with his previous films in a real way, Michael Moore's documentary about the sorry state of health care in America is essentially indisputible. If you believe that someone should be allowed to die from cancer just because they don't have enough money or the right insurance to cover the treatment, you're a cocksucker. There's no way around that, and this movie spends its whole running time reinforcing that, showing us normal, decent people whose lives have been ruined by bad runs of medical luck and the truly nasty, greedy and satanic insurance companies that won't help them. Every now and again human decency must come before monetary concerns, and health care is a perfect example of that. I have to give Moore credit for making a movie that focuses on the issue, and not just him and his indignation, but I have to take our lawmakers to task for ignoring one of our most pressing domestic crises.
