written by: silverqueen
 
Documentaries are a slice of real life. They can make you laugh, cry or watch in disbelief the oncoming train wreck of someone's life. Documentaries can teach or catch a moment of triumph or horror forever frozen in one frame of film. Docs have come a long way, baby! If you are a student of film you will know of most of these films. If not, grab some popcorn and come inside - I'm going to see if I can't pique your interest to see one documentary the next time you rent that Netflix.
