There have been a few top quality doc's posted in the film thread, so a thread dedicated to them is needed I think. They can be feature length documentaries or even DVD making of doc's. As long as they are 30 mins+ is the only criteria. Something to start the ball rolling:
Haiti is generally regarded as one of the most dangerous places on Earth to live and this doc concentrates on 2 brothers living on opposite sides of the law. One brother is desperate to escape Haiti and uses his own music to speak to the world outside and the other deeply embroiled in the countries violence and gang power.
What seems like an obvious choice to plump for, is not always an easy decision to choose sides for with a way of life that is the norm and not the exception and fatalism an accepted way of life.
Not always an easy watch but enthralling and fascinating nonetheless.
