Hi all,
Well I wanted to share some of the amazing documentaries I have seen over the last few months.
Without further ado, here she is.
Dear Zachary : A letter to a Son about his Father.
This amazing documentary was put together by Kurt Kuenne in 2008.
Kurts' good friend Andrew Bagby was murdered by Shirley Jane Turner after he attempted to put an end to their relationship.
A few weeks after she was arrested for his murder, she announced that she was pregnant with his baby.
Kurt was then inspired to make a film for Andrews unborn child to show him what an amazing man his Father was.
He interviews Andrews friends and relatives all across America and compiles a film full of great memories, greater stories and a celebration of Andrews life for his future son to see.
It's such a beautiful documentary that left me in a bit of a sad state but I'm so glad I got to see it.
It's heart wrenching stuff but it shows you how strong people can be even through some of the darkest points of their lives.
Kurt really created something truly beautiful.

Pumping Iron.
Everyone has their own opinion on Arnie but I have to say, I watched this documentary totally expecting to hate it.
I thought I would just keep shouting "STEROIDS!!!!" at the TV screen but steroids or no steroids, the work that goes into body building is quite unbelievable.

Pumping Iron was put together in 1977 in the 100 day build up to the Mr.Universe and Mr.Olympian competitions.
At first Arnies' 70's boyish looks and cocky attitude will drive you nuts.
The persona he had created for himself was overly confident, arrogant and a general pain in the arse.
But it gives you a rare insight into what it took to prepare for these events and how he tried to psych out his competitors in the lead up to the show date.
Crafty little fox!

Regardless of how you feel about body building, this documentary shows the dedication the competitors all put into their sport and the drama that went on backstage when the audience wasn't watching.
It's definitely worth a watch and if you love it like I did, there is also the "Making of Pumping Iron" and a documentary made about Lou Ferrigno called "Stand Tall".
Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead
This documentary follows Joe Cross who at the beginning is 100lbs overweight, depressed and suffering from a long list of health issues.
A very sorry state indeed.
He decides that enough is enough and makes a drastic change to try improve his life and his health purely by just changing his diet.
He has an awesome sense of humour which is present throughout the film and he has no problem joking about what got him into this sorry state.
His brutal honesty and his Australian accent make a winning combination.
Definitely worth a watch and it might inspire you to make a change as well.
Part II coming shortly,
C.
