    Born into Brothels

    Rented it.

    A moving documentary about a photographer who teaches photography to a small group of children from Calcutta's Red Light District. They then record their lives on film, and the documentary follows this process along with the photographer's struggle to get them into decent schools.

    Involving from start to finish, and leaves a mark on you.

    It was the Academy Award Winner for Best Documentary.

    Highly recommended... :4: out of :5:

      "Ancient Aliens" Documentary
      by madmac


      Ancient Aliens :alol:

      I popped this hilarious documentary series off my library shelves the other day in a fit of desperation for rainy day entertainment. It is a series that basically tries to convince it's viewers that we were visited by Aliens many times in the past...

      Amazon documentary - Le mans
      by Hdale85
      Just got done watching this documentary on Amazon Prime, it's an Amazon original and have to say it was quite good. It follows 6 or so different teams through the 2015 Le mans series all the way up to the end. Thought some of you motor sports fans might be interested in taking a peek.
