For me it’s gotta be something from ARTE (the French/German culture television channel). Either it’s the one about Chodorowskis weird Dune project or the three-part series about the history of racism. Both were extremely well-made documentaries.

    “Grey Gardens” Documentary now had me interested to find out what they were parodying and it just held my attention from start to finish. The crew is just there to observe, very little influence by them. Not that they needed to, the duo was entertaining on their own. You get to see what happens to these people who were once basically royalty what mental health and isolation does to someone. Yet, they maintain a level of optimism and a sense of living life the best they can. It’s a beautiful combination of sad and hopeful.
