My favourite download site has documentaries in their movie section and the TV section

There's even a BBC Horizon from the 60s!!

Not a documentary but factual based, I just watched the Red Riding Trilogy on Netflix. It's about Yorkshire Police Corruption in the years just prior, during and after the Yorkshire Ripper (1974, 1980 and 1983).

Having lived through that period in my teens this trilogy is powerful, shocking and the setting feels very authentic.

Ive been watching this with OH, what pisses me off is whenever there is a documentry type programme of people living on benefits, it's always this type of person, the ones that have no I tention of working ever. How about one featuring people that want to improve their lives, that work and end up with less than those on benefits, y'know the flip side of the coin. It really annoy me, that everyone on benefits it portrayed this way.

Blackfish was a decent watch. And I found Gasland one and two interesting.

I enjoyed, if that's the word, Blackfish and The Cove.

Undefeated is also rather good.

Great programme. With the loss of manufacturing jobs its very grim up north. Whole generations on benefits. I think even if there were jobs now, most of them wouldn't know what to do. It must be soul destroying to know that even your great granddad couldn't get job back in the 1970s. Interesting but very sad. :(
