I get it.  The food I eat isn't really food.  The animals are treated poorly before they end up on my plate.  Big corporations are killing the independent American farmer (whatever that means).  I guess I just don't think this story is that compelling. Kudos to Chipotle for helping to sponsor ...

I don't know if it's intellectually consistent to be a meat eater but still feel sick while watching The Cove.  But really who wouldn't be disgusted by images of the capture and slaughter of thousands of dolphins?    The fact that I'm stunned by all of this is really ...

There have been dozens of documentaries on Iraq and prisoner torture in particular.  Taxi to the Dark Side is particularly compelling.  I'm convinced that history will judge us harshly for many of the choices surrounding the capture and interrogation of terror suspects.

It's Spike Lee, so of course it's totally political.  In fact, I think Spike would say that politics were at the core of the problem.  Either way, Katrina was a human tragedy on the largest level.  The images are devastating and the stories are compelling.  Of course the music is ...

"Nobody joins a cult" Jim Jones' appeal and power is terrifying.  Jones took a group of people who were helping the poor and fighting for social equality in their communities to South America.  Ultimately, he spoke to them through a loudspeaker, ordering them to get into a line, take a cup ...

Errol Morris tells the story of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal through interviews with the people who took and posed in the photos that made it famous.  I kind of feel like we've all heard the story by now.  However, Errol Morris definitely puts a fresh spin on it.

I suppose it takes a certain type of person to dress up as a superhero and stand along the Hollywood Walk of Fame taking pictures with tourists for tips.  I don't think anyone would be surprised to discover that the majority of these people are aspiring actors with sordid pasts.  ...

I always assumed that Mike Tyson was just some crazy fool.  By his own admission, Tyson is definitely crazy.  However, he is no fool.  In fact, I'd even go so far as to say he is articulate (a nice thing in a documentary).  He is just so troubled that the ...

A nude horse is a rude horse.  That's why pets, barnyard animals and large livestock should wear clothes - because decency today means morality tomorrow.
