    In the 2005 doc 'Reversal of fortune' they asked Ted Rodrigue to be in a documentary about being homeless. It was a plot to later surprise him by planting a briefcase in a dumpster with $100,000 in it.

    They wanted to see what would happen when a homeless person found that kind of money.

    He spent $38,000 on a truck, $10,000 on a car for his friend and spent most of his time in bars. In less than a year he was flat broke. It's a shame but what exactly were they expecting?

    Here's one (in it's entirety) about the holocaust of the Indigenous people of North America from 1500 to the present:

    I also enjoy docs. I've got 3 of the Ken Burns series (Civil War, Jazz and Baseball) as well as a few about WWII. American Experience is one of my favs on PBS.

    Few years ago a bunch of my friends would get together in this kids garage to smoke and watch this. Like over and over again.. I was there twice but I didn't smoke. I was like WTF?

    I had never heard of this band before this documentary, but now they're one of my favorites.

    Probably one of the best documentaries I've seen is The King of Kong: Fistful of Quarters. Not kidding.

    I can't imagine watching a film of you sitting on your ass watching hentai porn and eating Fritos would make for much of a documentary.

    I actually had to google hentai porn. I would rep, but I think I rep'd you last week.

    Plus, I hate Fritos. It's Sun Chips FTW!

    Well, obviously there are things I won't do. Namely, be a Lakers fan.
