Good man! I've just finished The Toynbee Tiles and really liked it - I hadn't heard of the them before so the premise was new to me. I didn't realise it was also unfolding as they were filming it all; I was drawn in, intrigued, impressed with their empathy and and sensitivity - very good recommendation.

Judging by the quality of other suggestions here, I suspect my bandwidth will be taking a beating for the next couple of days...

Watched a Letter to Zachary last night, pretty heart wrenching stuff. Great documentary, thanks for the suggestion.

Would love to know what you think of The Revolution Will Not Be Televised if you get a chance to watch it.

This one stuck with me for ages. The ending is so messed up. Well worth a watch if you're the overly curious type.

Gasland is a truely frightening Documentary.

All about the extraction of shale gas in the USA.

Only frightening cause it's coming a town near you in the UK soon.

Well worth a watch.

Looks good but I can only find a trailer at present

Gasland Documentary

Remember last year they had some of these problems up in the lake district last year.

Yeah the shale Gas extraction is set to go ahead in the Lake District unless we can get a big enough movement going behind it to stop it.

They have banned hydraulic fracturing, or Fracking (the method to extract the gas) all over Europe but our reliance on gas in this country has stopped the government from doing so over here.

Watch the documentary, then get on board the "Frack off" campaign.

I haven't made time for it just yet but I will, promise!

The one that drew me this evening was 'Being Elmo - A Puppeteer's Journey'. Not the most in-depth of docs but really sweet.

I'm a big fan of Fire in Babylon and One Day in September. The latter is (sadly), very topical.
