Essential Documentary Thread

[storyteller]

Haven't checked this thread in a minute so it may have been mentioned, but I watched Prison Fighters yesterday and that is an epic documentary. They tell the story in a way that you feel for every side of it...the prisoner, the victim, the families and the fight itself is only highlights but really exciting anyway.
