We've been watching a lot of documentaries lately, largely for want of anything fictional that goosed us in a good way.
Here's two we found worthy-
The Tillman Story (iTunes): First-class examination of the US Military and Political complex's astonishingly depraved exploitation of the personnel it marched into death and their family's reaction. Far more oblique and considered than we'd expected. * * * * *
Buck (iTunes): Disregard the cheesy cover image that does it such a disservice and any eyerolls you might have for the whole horsewhispering thing; this is an insightful, straight-shooting personal account of triumph over adversity, salvaging the broken and the essential nature of our accord with other animals. Touched our tarry hearts. * * * *
