Great Documentaries

Documentaries give us a view of this great big world we live in that we don't get a chance to see, or find little curiosities in our everyday lives that we often overlook. They stimulate, educate and sometimes instigate their audiences all by taking reality, putting it in a frame and asking us to take another look. Whether it's showing us the hardships that people face at home (Harlan County, USA) or abroad (Manda Bala), or challenges we all face together (An Inconvenient Truth); the story behind a typeface we see every day (Helvetica); or a rare behind-the-scenes look at some of the biggest names in rock history (Gimme Shelter, Don't Look Back), documentaries prove time and again that truth often really is stranger than fiction...
