Anonymous wrote:"20 Feet from Stardom" - about backup singers - this was wonderful and I think it streams on Netflix.

"First Comes Love" - about a woman who decides to have a baby on her own. This was on HBO. Also very interesting.

"Babies" - can rent it on ITunes I think. Follows the first year or so of four babies in four different countries.

"Never Sorry: Ai Wei-wei" - great documentary about the Chinese artist. Streams on Netflix.

She also did one called "Always a Bridesmaid". While I don't love her style of film making, I find the topic very interesting and relevant.

"Holes in my Shoes" about a jewish man, grew up on lower east side in poverty and the track of his life and career til age 96 - joyous!

"Exit through the Gift Shop" a documentary within a documentary about fame and graffiti artists and the art world - fascinating!

"The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill"- about these parrots that live in this neighborhood in San Fran - so sweet!

The "7-up" series........follows the lives of a group of british schoolchildren - every seven years - til age 56 - addictive!

"Capturing the Friedmans" about a father and son accused of horrific crimes - suspenseful!

I would like to see this one - - - (I read the book and was fascinating): "The woman Who Wasn't There" About a woman who faked being a survivor on 9/11 at the WTC

I love documentaries...keep 'em coming.......

Happy is also a great film.

I really loved "20 Feet from Stardom" is was great!

Which Way Home on Netflix is amazing. It's about children and teenagers who ride freight trains through Central America to make it up to the U.S. Border. A great book on the same topic is Enrique's Journey.
