    If you have any friends with an Autistic child.... I would suggest "The Magic Pill" on Netflix Documentaries.

    I was first turned on to this documentary this week after learning and uploading a Nirvana song, and, this opened my eyes a bit.
    R.I.P Kurt Cobain

    I now no longer believe he committed suicide but believe Kurt was murdered, which is a shame, as I believe Jimi Hendrix was murdered too and not a straight forward O'D'... 'Knowing' what I knew about Jimi Hendrix and learning/being made aware of this about Kurt Cobain saddens me.

    "Our Planet" on Netflix is beautiful and on a 5.1 surround systems is a hoot! Lot of "Global Warming" scaremongering but very much worth watching.

    Apparently time effects gravity AND NOT the other way round.

    Still getting my head around this concept, but, give me a break, I've just watched this (and downloaded the app).

    There is a 65 part series Secrets of War, on youtube and Amazon I think. It is around $15 for the whole DVD set. There is a lot of new material. I learned much. There is some overlap.

    Cynthia starts at 7:10. Made me read The Last Goodnight.


    Also, not strictly documentaries
    The Snowden movie by Oliver Stone was good.
    The movie The Angel is on Netflix. About an Egyptian agent or double agent during the Yom Kippur War.The movie tracks what I read elsewhere. The movie is in English but the Egyptian dialogue scenes are subtitled in English.
    The intro piece below is misleading about what happened.

    Trailer below.

    the problem with 'documentaries' is some, if not most, people take them as factually true & correct... not always the case... keep an open mind & never presume what you see & hear on tv/internet is real, true, or honest ;)

    they are intriguing & somewhat interesting, but don't openly think they are 'gospel'...

    I really liked Oliver Stone's Snowden too. I hadn't heard of The Angel, but I have Netflix, so I just watched it. To borrow a line from The Simpsons, that was some good squishy :).
