A friend of mine made a documentary called Citizen Shane that is pretty humorous.

It's about a guy who is running for Sheriff in Lowndes county (VERY small town Mississippi).  He's fascinated by serial killers and has a very regular correspondence with Charles Manson, and believes that his mother's death was covered up by local police.  

It's really interesting, and if you can get your hands on a copy, I give it two enthusiastic thumbs up.

If nothing else, you get to hear Manson sing a song he wrote during one of their phone conversations.

I see we actually have a documentaries thread so figured I would post this here.

Saw "In god we trump" last night (it's on Amazon), a documentary that explores evangelicals and why they have flocked to Trump and remain his most ardent supporters.

While most in the doc did not surprise me, it is still a pretty good exploration. Only problem while watching was that I had to fight fits of anger within myself in order to watch it til the end. Worth it for me though.

I suppose it is not quite a fit for the 'ENJOY' section......

Yeah Docs are sweet....
One of my faves is an odd beast called "Animals are Beautiful People"

Which is a cross between a wildlife documentary and a comedy - set in and around the Serengeti.

And then there's Louis Theroux...!

I saw Searching for Sugar Man. Fascinating to me since I grew up listening to my Dad's copy of Cold Fact. Great documentary. Apparently, it is the first film with scenes shot on an iPhone to win an Oscar. I had no idea before seeing it that Rodriguez was (at the time) virtually unknown in the USA.

Superhappy that 'Free Solo' won the oscar last night. I saw it a while ago in Boston (and met Alex Honnold afterwards) and it is absolutely breathtaking and a cinematic masterpiece in my view. The camerawork by Jimmy Chin is so good it's hard to imagine it's a doc you're looking at.
Obviously the feat by Honnold it is about to a large extent makes it so exciting (for those who are unaware, it's about him free solo'ing [i.e. no ropes or any protection] a 3000 ft slab of vertical rock).

For anyone who hasn't seen it, please do. Yes you'll have sweaty palms most of the movie, but it's worth it.
