Documentaries to Watch

I can't remember the last time I made a "Documentaries to Watch" list, so here's one. There's a range of my favourite documentaries so far now, so read the descriptions if you're not sure you'd like it.

THIN
This documentary is, as the name suggests, centred on thin people. It focuses on 4 different women suffering from anorexia nervosa in the US. You get to see the reasons for their illness, the ridiculous things they say to convince themselves to not get better, their relationships with everyone and most of all how they are physically affected by the illness. It's a very good documentary on what happens when dieting goes too far.

ZERO: AN INVESTIGATION INTO 9/11
Yes, a conspiracy theory documentary. What I liked about this one is that it does explore more points of view than just the American government story and the American conspiracy theorist story. It's also looking from the point of view from foreign architects, engineers, investigators, etc. which gives it a bit more credibility. A very interesting documentary to watch if you don't quite swallow the official story of 9/11.

THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL?
Ah, you knew these were coming. Of course I have to include a few on religion, you know me guys. In this documentary Richard Dawkins argues why the world would be better off without religion.

THE MOST HATED FAMILY IN AMERICA
This documentary is either enfuriating, or entertaining, I haven't exactly decided yet. Either way, it's an interesting to watch to see the most hated family in America, the most ridiculous belief system etc. in the United States, probably. These are the people who make me want to gag, but this documentary kept me glued to the screen.

JESUS CAMP
The description to this would be similar to the one above.

ANCIENT ALIENS
A sci-fi documentary exploring ancient figures and drawings and symbols that are close to our idea of aliens as well as other magnificent ancient structures that are, allegedly, created by aliens or non-humans.
