If you watch one Docu this year it has to be 'Off the Rails'

Amazing story of Darius McCollum who suffers from Aspergers syndrome and he's addicted to the New York metro system of busses and Subway.
Proper funny, sad and eventually heartwrenching account of his life from driving trains etc to being in prison for probably the rest of his life.

It's on Amazon Prime here in the UK.

Trailer is here:

Will have a look.


Would highly recommend the Doc "13" about the Prison system in the US and how it has swallowed up so many blacks over the years.

Its jaw dropping.

Watched 13th the other day. Very disturbing. America is such a fucked up country.

Cheers Defjam - I'll check that out.

I really enjoyed One Killer Punch on Channel 4 recently.

Re: If you watch one Docu this year it has to be 'Off the Rails'

Cheers for that - will check it out.

Another good documentary on Prime is Precinct Seven Five. A true tale of large scale police corruption in New York.

Love a documentary recommendation thread. Cheers chaps!

Re: If you watch one Docu this year it has to be 'Off the Rails'

Excellent Defjam, I think good documentaries are my faves these days....Another couple of recommendations for anyone who likes documentaries :

Louis Theroux Documentary on Scientology.

The Fall - Sky Atlantic. Doc about Zola Budd and Mary Decker in the Olympic Final in 1984. Fascinating because at the time I was just a kid watching an Olympic Final. I didn't know all the background of the two and poor Zola was on a hiding to nothing really. Well worth a watch.

And it sounds a bit boring and probably showing I am getting old but some of the Chris Tarrant Extreme Railways series are quite fascinating. Puts Southern to shame!!!

Takashi Miike 6:13 Thu Jan 5

Kate Plays Christine
Citizenfour
Last Chance U

I wasn't sure about the scientology movie - not being able to get really close to any active scientologists hampered it somewhat. Still enjoyable though.

Just spotted that 'Zero Days' is on Amazon prime - release date tomorrow. Sounds dark enough for me to consider watching.

Re: If you watch one Docu this year it has to be 'Off the Rails'

Miike - have you seen Snowden? Debating whether to watch that first or citizenfour.
