| Food, Inc. is probably one of the best docs I've ever seen. Didn't realize how big the meat industries got back home. And corn?! Damn... |

There should have been a focus on Monsanto. One of the most crooked GM companies out there. |

If you liked "Food Inc.", check out the book "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan. He appears throughout the film, but his book goes into far greater detail than the film. It is also very even-handed in its examination of industrial, big organic, and small organic agriculture, as well as modern "hunter-gatherers". Great book.
Not to hijack the thread:
"Journals of a Wily School" PBS Independent Lens production, which follows a Calcutta pickpocket through his education in the craft. Small-scale, very well done. |

The leader, the driver and the drivers wife.
That is such a brilliant and probably one of the most important documentaries to record the collapse of the apartheid regime in South Africa.
The comedy value of watching Nick Broomfield shit himself on a consistent basis as the buffoonish Eugene Terreblance puts the fear of God into him hundreds of miles into the Afrikaner heartland.
It is available on youtube and the channel four website. |

| I know a lot of people don't like him, but anything by Michael Moore-entertaining and informative. He popularized the whole genre. |

King of Kong, Grizzly Man, Jesus Camp, basically anything by Errol Morris, Waltz with Bashir (unconventional but extremely rewarding), The Fog of War, Inside Deep Throat, Enron:The Smartest Guys in the Room, Koyanisqaatsi, Powanasqaatsi, Baraka, Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy, Hearts of Darkness, Hearts and Minds, Nanook of the North. This is very obviously just a very light sampling
Also check out the National Film Board of Canada's website for a great series of interviews with some of the leading documentarists regarding the craft and process of shooting documentary. |
