I’ve been on a documentary mission since New Years when I watched “Making A Murderer”. I’m sure most of you have heard about that one. It’s been in the news almost every day. It’s about Steven Avery and his murder trial which appears to be biased. I won’t give away the details but with all the media attention he may get another trial.
Since watching that I’ve been watching many more documentaries on Netflix. There were 2 on Aileen Wournos, who was considered to be the first female serial killer. Charlize Theron played her in the Hollywood movie “Monster” a few years ago and was nominated for many awards after making herself look very ugly. The movie made her out to be a serial killer but the documentary told a completely different story.
I’ve watched “Kurt & Courtney”about Kurt Cobain and his wife Courtney Love, “The History of the Eageles” about the band, and one about another band I like, “Journey”. All were so entertaining and provocative.
Have you seen any good documentaries?
Hi Cathy, I love watching documentaries too. I recently watched the Twinsters documentary on Netflix. Its about a girl discovering her twin through Youtube. It’s worthy of 5 stars.

Not much on documentary over here myself. Wildlife and cars are the two that feature most heavily mind you I am subject to some very odd things by a friend of mine. The Undateables springs to mind….

Oh! My husband and I just finished watching Making A Murderer! I cannot believe the way they have been treated! He deserves a new trial. You should watch Dear Zachary too. That one made me cry and very angry. It’s also a documentary.
