NBR Poll: Favourite documentary
After watching Blackfish on Saturday, I remembered how much I really do love a good documentary.
I need some suggestions. What are your favourites? I'm open to pretty much anything.
Re: NBR Poll: Favourite documentary
I enjoyed it. Some parts were hard to watch. I'm not a big fan of Sea World and most zoos anyway so while I agreed with most that was said, there is always two sides to every story.
We just watched An Original DUCKumentary the other night and it was great.
The Burrowers: Animals Underground was very interesting as well.
Pretty much anything that Ken Burns does is outstanding.
I second Restrepo and Jiro Dreams of Sushi, they are great for totally different reasons.

DH was obsessed with this one origami documentary, and we've watched it so many times now. it's called Between the Folds.
I agree that Restrepo was great, as was the Business of Being Born. Craigslist Joe was really neat, and I'm fascinated by any kind of religious fanatic, so I also liked Jesus Camp.
For food shows, Forks Over Knives was really, really eye-opening, and I recommend it to everyone. Also, Food Inc., King Corn, Farmageddon, Hungry for Change, Dive. . .
The Botany of Desire was fabulous, too, but I'm really into plants.
And Marley, the Bob Marley biography, is a go-to for background on cleaning days in our house.
Sugar & Spice

DH and I recently watched Somm. It follows 3 guys as they study for and take their exam to become a Master Sommelier (wine expert). It's crazy how many things these guys can smell and taste in wine!
I'm loving all of these recs. I'm adding whatever I can find to my Netflix right now!
