ONE love, blood, life
I was wondering what peoples favourite documentaries are; this does in many ways relate to politics, religion, history and science ~ an ideal and broad topic for discussion really.
I think that David Attenborough's 'Life on Earth' is really great; the coverage gives a great overview of life and is able to communicate the concepts so well. It really is a joy to watch.
I would also say 'The World at War', which gives coverage of so much in WW2 and does not sanitise the subject matter; from the frozen battlefields of the Eastern Front in winter to the bloodied and burnt corpses on Pacific Islands. Then the interview material with soldiers, civilians and a whole manner of those involved in the war effort. An impressive (as in horrific but important); if often hard to watch (the Einsatzgruppen death squads for instance). The production qualities are first rate, I would rate it very highly.
