Documentaries worth watching

Just watched that.
23 year old half-Algerian French guy, with dark hair and brown eyes and heavy accent, fools family in San Antonio into believing he is their missing 16 year old blond haired blue eyes son/brother.
Truly bizarre story.

Found it hard watching. Seemed like a crock of shite. 3 years isn’t an acceptable absence to mistake your son for someone who looks nothing like him.

I watched it years ago though. Did the sister or someone know it wasn’t him, but just played along to keep the happy family thing going?

The Private detective, Charlie Parker, was a gas cunt, a real caricature. I love how he showed up at the house where the kid was living when he had gone missing and asked the the fella that was now living there if he could dig in the back yard to see if the kid was buried there, and then has yer man do all the digging. Gas fucker.

In last Tuesday’s primaries, this crazy bitch won 48% of the vote in the Rep primary for one of the seats on the Texas Education Board. Given how conservative that district is, if she wins the run-off she is almost garunteed to win the seat in the Nov election over whoever her Democratic opponent will be.

Finished Ken Burns’ terrific series on the American Civil War last night.
Might start into his effort on WWII tonight

Storyville is, by and large, very good.

Anybody seen Where to Invade Next by Fatty Moore? Downloaded it earlier from Showbox and debating sticking it on after the match.

Yeah its ok, repetitive. One thing thing it does illustrate is the shitty conditions American workers face which explains the rise of the anti establishment candidates

This is in cinemas at the moment (well the Lighthouse anyway). It’s got excellent reviews - looks terrific.

He was interviewed by Joanne Cantwell last Saturday on Radio one the poor fucker. Sounds like a confident guy.

He’s living the dream in America.

Tisnt often is disagree with you mate :grinning: but I thought that was a huge dissapointment of a book, well reviewed elsewhere though so maybe just me.

He does driver training I think. He was shafted by McLaren. He was as good as Senna apparently.,
