    I really liked "Modify" (I think thats the name) all about body modifications.
    +1 and yes that is the title and besides looking at things like piercing, branding etc it also looks at bodybuilders which was interesting.

    I've only seen it on you tube, but it's called "Reversal of Fortune"

    Basically, they give this homeless guy $100K without any stipulations on the money. We follow the poor guy and watch him blow through the money in a matter of 6 months.

    A lot of people I know are actually in Modify.
    If you want to check out some more of my friends, checked out the latest body suspension episode of Taboo. :smile:

    ETA: It is the Pierced and Hooked episode of Taboo.

    This one might be harder to find, but Call Me Kuchu.

    About David Kato's work for LGBT+ in Uganda. I went to see it during Human Rights Watch's event at MOPA one night last year and it pretty much destroyed me. I was crying for a good portion of it.

    any doco presented by louis theroux is a must watch. start with 'the most hated family in america" where he spends a couple weeks living with the westboro baptist church.

    this is the doco that made me download all his stuff.

    he is the one presenter ive seen that really gets right in there with the subject. ie, he did one about gambling in vegas and on his last night he took 5k to a black jack table. or he does one on plastic surgery and gets liposuction done.

    I watched a documentary on drugs, and I have come to the conclusion that is the best way to watch a documentary.
