Anyone Know Any Good Documentaries?

If we ran out of oil today.

 

Netflix has good ones on both Rajneesh and Trump. The one on Rajneesh is called The Wild, Wild West, IMO a rather misleading title designed to help sweep the whole story under the rug.

I have several of Rajneesh 's books--he wrote explications of the major precepts of most if not all major religions, and the documentary does not go into any of that, but only into the negative results of his commune in Oregon. When he returned to India he also authored numerous books under the name OSHO. I have found all of his writings that I have managed to acquire quite insightful and useful; a very interesting man, and probably not the charlatan Sheela, his former personal assistant, finally accuses him of being. He worked too hard at his writings to make that stick.

The "Trump" one seems to delineate many of Trump's preferred ways of dealing with things; I do not have enough personal experience with his behavior to know how one-sided it might be, but it is interesting. I wasn't keyed into his marriage, business, or TV history prior to his running for the Presidency, so I found the segments about his first wife fascinating..

 

Frankly I personally learned much about them through personal dealings with them in My time as a Police Officer working with various Law Enforcement Agencies early on in an U.C. capacity.
Some really uninspired people.

 

Interesting; tell more!

The Red Pill by Cassie Jaye. She is an ex-Feminist that was going to do a documentary about "Rape Culture" and discovered that there are actually men in pain out there. I think she left Feminism not because she thinks things are perfect between men, women and society, but that Feminism has become too Gynocentric. They want to avert their eyes and even lie about issues that men face specifically because of their being men. https://www.amazon.com/Red-Pill-Cas...8&qid=1526840211&sr=8-3&keywords=the+red+pill (free for Amazon Prime members)You can watch further footage on youtube of stuff that didn't make the final cut. Example: and some fun rebuttals: and other fun stuff that happened:

 

A documentary on how to survive Y2K.

 

Apocalypse WWI - a five part documentary on World War I:



(Available on YouTube)

 

Carry on darkly fascinating if you're a Brit.

 

. . .
I'm an Ebony Lesbian
Well, my crew is.

Carry On... I guess it's something, I mean, it's an innuendo, a pint, a cigarette and a sex chase for the whole family.

 

It's kind of like Family Guy back when being Gay was illegal.
Or maybe not?
IDK, I'm not that old.
But certainly promiscuous.

 

I like documentaries, but I’m picky about them. Many feel dumbed-down, one-sided, or drawn-out to fill a time slot. The most recent one that I actually liked was the Human Odyssey, which tracked the spread of Homo sapiens across the planet.

 

Last Train Home. A very interesting story of a fairly typical, working class Chinese family. Its a very telling documentary.​

 

Living with the enemy, when Cradle of filth meets Christians

 

How Britain built the bomb on a budget.

 

Forgot the channel names but I have been watching a lot of "living in China" youtubes lately by expats from this country and one from South Africa. Its interesting to see how different it is not just from an economic standpoint but a social standpoint as well. Things like when people offer to pay for something such as a dinner they are not doing it out of kindness they are doing it so that you "owe" them. Owing people and having people owe you is a big social status thing in China. I was also surprised to learn that Chinese themselves can't stand their own products and if they have the money they will pay significantly more for an import especially when it comes to cars. Also, don't ever use Chinese health care....its aweful and the doctors are less qualified than nurses in the US.

You can also apparently make a living in China being a "white monkey". They pay you to just sit in meetings with them pretending to be a "business man" or "investor" and you aren't even expected to know any Chinese so no one questions you. Having a white pet is another sign of status.

I really hope that I can become a white pet for Gem Tang or Jane Zhang one day. Id roll over and play fetch for either of them any day. We need to increase the number of hot Asian female immigrants immediately.

Found one of them..

If you like China, try to fine "The Story of China" by Michael Wood.

https://www.pbs.org/show/story-china/

Absolutely fantastic.

He also did "Story of India". China is better.

 

Won't You Be My Neighbor and Three Identical Strangers. But mostly Three Identical Strangers.

 

Berlin Airlift fascinating time in history

 

United Gates of America

Before Donald Trump was POTUS and went on about his wall, about a gated community in California.
