They had the same people come in every week, so it was a real community and they kept a black leather handbag behind the counter in case any of the customers were going to a funeral and needed to borrow it.
obviously i'm not doing it justice in my description, you just have to know it was moving and just amazing.

I remember when that one came out and I read the Wikipedia and ultimately decided I would find it too disturbing.

Steve James has said he was inspired to make Stevie because of how many people asked him for follow-ups about the boys from Hoop Dreams. He was Big Brother to a throwaway kid named Stevie when he was in college, so he went back to find him and tell his story, because nobody would ever ask about him. Pretty interesting.
A lot of good Frontlines come to mind, but I found "The Dancing Boys of Afghanistan" to be particularly fascinating (about bacha bazi).
