The Last days of Yasser Arafat--pretty self explainatory
Girls Rock--about a camp that promotes girls self esteem through rock music--very funny moments

Revolucion--about Hugo Chavez

There is a whole list of Documentaries we didn't see plus a little bit of info--and also past documentaries shown--at www.hotdocs.ca

Those are just to name a few--these are ones I went to see during the Hot Docs festival in Canada--by far though my favorite would have to be War/Dance--beautiful in so many ways!!

That should get you started....on PBS as well they have a whole Frontline series that you can watch for free...I just watch The Mormons--interesting to see...wonder how long it will be before people start trying to string 9/11 to September 11th in Mormon history--hahaha

Ohhh and Once in a Lifetime--about the New York Cosmos!!

*Edited for those who are lazy and don't want to search the internet

[khyber]

you tv-links there is a show called "Weird Nature". There is some insanely stuff out there. Y'all should really check that out.

[safeblad]

I will mention 'the power of nightmares' - it charts the rise of the neoconservatives in the US and radical islamists showing them as forces which feed off each other, the politics of fear etc.

(its really not helpful unless you give a brief description folks, i for one am not going to wading through IMDB , for stuff i probably wont be interesting in on the basis of a recommendation of some guy/gal from the internet)

[Tiger Beer]
