Watched American Murder; The Family Next Door, a few nights ago. Truly shocking what happened there.

The fog of war, documentary on Robert Strange McNamara . Very good .

...’Lennon at 80’ worth a listen on BBC Radio. Sean Lennon interviewing the likes of Elton John, Julian Lennon and Paul McCartney about his Dad.

 

[ste d' indica]

Like me some Herzog anyway but really enjoyed this - bar the odd laconic voiceover he largely lets the interviewees and the images speak, and its a fascinating look at the physical marvels themselves, the sobering reminders of their power and the cultures that live and work in their shadow, and revere them.

On Netflix.

Active measures.

film/ documentary about Donald Trumps links to Russia and the Vladamir Putin regime. good watch.

 

[Methuselah]

On Youtube. Select 'Eric Brown Naval Pilot'. Amazing story of his life as a pilot. Mainly during WWll but covers periods both before and after the war. (Uncanny resemblance to Jacky Stewart!) Well worth a watch.

Storyville about the hijack of Pepe the Feels Good frog by the right wing. Absolutely insane.

Currently watching "Maradona in Mexico" on Netflix. Very charming, and crazy to think of, like Maradona going to Luton to coach.

 

[LEONARD]

Excellent 3 part series on Ulysses S Grant.

 

[bigjonny]

I watched a 3 part series on PBS America, The Balkans in Flames, about the break up of Yugoslavia and subsequent wars. Presented without taking sides and explaining each conflict in chronological order , highly recommend it.
