"The Winding Stream" is about The Carter Family, the country music royalty, not the Jimmy and Rosalynn.

It's not often a tv programme will really make me reevaluate how I think about an issue. This one did, though. I've always liked the woman who made this documentary. She's a brilliant actor and comedian (and writer), who some of you may recognise from the sketch show Smack the Pony. Here she explores an issue that's very personal to her, as the mother of a son with Down's Syndrome/
A World Without Down's Syndrome

I see above, sadly, the video I posted is no longer viewable.
This is not a documentary, but a short interview with one of my favourite documentarians, Louis Theroux. This is from several months before Trump won the election

Did it do the story justice?

It was pretty heavy, not sensationalized at all, so yeah, I think so. But sad and tragic, especially as a parent. The interviews with his adult son, who was 8 at the time, are heartbreaking at times. You can see the boy inside the man when he tears up at certain points during his recollections. Imagining your kids suffering through that emotional pain is rough.

Foot, have you ever seen the spoof series "Documentary Now!" with Fred Armisen and Bill Hader? It's subtle-funny, in ways that big documentary fans will appreciate. Each episode stands alone; my favorite from season 1 was "Kunuk Uncovered."

My son keeps pulling up "The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young" on Netflix.
It's a quintuple marathon bushwhacking through the steep wooded hills of Tenn. The guy who runs it is a real character and the people who participate are a special breed. It's all he and his friends are talking about these days. The race was held this past weekend, and a guy from DC finished it. Another guy would have finished it, but he was 6 seconds too slow crossing the finish line before the 60 hour cut-off. |

As for recent documentaries, I wholeheartedly recommend "Soul Train, The Hippest Trip in America."
Now on YouTube for your streaming pleasure. The music presented from the early years of this program touches me, moves me in a very fundamental way. You'll appreciate the dancing more on a bigger view. Love, Peace, and Soul!
