3. I'd rec 2, for sure..
"After the A-bomb", destruction/aftermath and RECOVERY in Hiroshima & Nagasaki..archival footage will be especially riveting in light of today's situation :(

"Arsenal of Hypocracy", Nasa,& why we're going to "dominate" space.

thanks for this list!

6. That should be waiting for me when I get home
Via Netflix. There's apparently some sort of sequel as well.

5. South of the Border
by Oliver Stone (recent interviews with Bolivarian So. American democratically elected leaders)

Body of War by Phil Donahue and Ellen Spiro (heart-rending true story of Tom Young, disabled veteran)

Crude by Joe Berlinger (story of Chevron's poisoning of Ecquador's interior)

The Most Dangerous Man in America by Erlich and Goldsmith (Daniel Ellsberg's story)

Running the Sahara by James Moll and Matt Damon (Title describes it. I run, so this was really interesting to me)

Fierce Grace by Mickey Lemle (inspiring story of Baba Ram Dass's life after he had a major stroke and found ways to have it benefit his spiritual development. Remarkable)
