Talked To Death -

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPwvKfx4Dhg" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPwvKfx4Dhg</a>.

HBO's look at the talk show industry from the late 90's. Follows basic production through some of the larger scandals to hit the talk show circuit. Included is the infamous Jenny Jones gay murder case. It lulls a bit in the middle, but is bookended by two interesting stories. It's become a pretty hard to find doc, as it always gets pulled by HBO or the talk shows themselves.



Harvest of Shame, famous documentary about the perils migrant farmers faced in the US for decades. I know it doesn't sound exciting, but it is a very fine piece of film making, that makes a person glad for what they have -

Frank Terpil - Confessions of a Dangerous Man -

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQyggh7Ats8" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQyggh7Ats8</a>.

A joint American and British look at Frank Terpil, a supposedly ex- CIA agent who went rogue in the early 70's, and was involved in many of the arms dealings, and other spycraft that went on in that decade. A little slow in parts for the modern viewer, but a very interesting subject that shows how things really go on behind the scenes.
