Fukushima nuclear disaster (2011)


Posle Fukishime Japan više nikad neće biti isti, al' će vam retko ko to otvoreno priznati. Japan je u žešćem kurcu.

PBS American Experience: Ruby Ridge (2017)



Ruby Ridge > Waco > Oklahoma city
Nikad dosta Ruby Ridge-a...za nauk!



"Shortly before dawn on August 21, 1992, six heavily armed U.S. marshals made their way up to the isolated mountaintop home of Randy and Vicki Weaver and their children on Ruby Ridge in Northern Idaho. Charged with selling two illegal sawed-off shotguns to an undercover agent, Weaver had failed to appear in court and law enforcement was tasked with bringing him in. For months, the Weavers had been holed up on their property with a cache of firearms, including automatic weapons. When the federal agents surveilling the property crossed paths with members of the family, a firefight broke out. The standoff that mesmerized the nation would leave Weaver injured, his wife and son dead, and some convinced that the federal government was out of control. Drawing upon eyewitness accounts, including interviews with Weaver’s daughter, Sara, and federal agents involved in the confrontation, Ruby Ridge is a riveting account of the event that helped give rise to the modern American militia movement."

The Hunt for the Boston Bombers (2014)


"In April 2013, chaos erupted in Boston near the finish line of one of the world's oldest and most prestigious marathons. It was the worst terrorist attack on the United States since 9/11 and led to one of the most extensive and public manhunts in American history. Now, as the one-year anniversary approaches, National Geographic Channel presents a special two-hour event, Inside the Hunt for the Boston Bombers."

Waco: Madman or Messiah (2018)


Što se mene tiče Koreš je bio mesija, jer za razliku od davnih vremena kada su mesije proganjali i razapinjali na krst, danas ih ubijaju, osuđuju na smrt i doživotne robije. Naravno, pored mesije bio je i ludak u neku ruku, jer svi ti proroci su morali da budu i ludi, ekscentrični, a sve u cilju da bi odradili to što su naumili. Kontam da se većina neće složiti sa mnom ali evo, pogledajte dokumentarac pa sami prosudite. Neko nosi krst oko vrata a neko vešala, a značenje je isto, samo su se vremena promenila. Današnje društvo kao i ondašnje jednostavno ne prepoznaje prave mesije, ali možda to tako i treba da bude, jer nije Juda slučajno "izdao" Isusa, zar ne?


"Told by survivors, news clips and audio recordings of David Koresh. It tells the story of how he rose to power as their "prophet" and then fell from glory in the standoff and fire that made history."

Oklahoma City (2017)


Director:
Barak Goodman

"The bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in April 1995 is the worst act of domestic terrorism in American history; this documentary explores how a series of deadly encounters between American citizens and federal law enforcement - including the standoffs at Ruby Ridge and Waco - led to it."

JFK: The Smoking Gun (2013)


Director:
Malcolm Mcdonald

"Seventy-five percent of the American people still refuse to believe the official story of President John F. Kennedy's death. They do not think he was killed by a lone gunman but by a mysterious cabal that somehow conspired to have him killed. How can this be? How can a crime this famous, witnessed and investigated by so many, remain a mystery? This is what veteran Australian police detective Colin McLaren is determined to find out. JFK: The Smoking Gun follows the forensic cold-case investigation McLaren conducted over four painstaking years, taking us back to that tragic day in Dallas at Dealey Plaza where the shooting took place, to Parkland Hospital where the president was pronounced dead, to the Bethesda Naval Hospital where the autopsy was conducted and to the conclusions of the Warren Commission that have remained controversial to this day. Driven by a seasoned police detective who, thanks to modern technology, finally had access to all the facts and to witness testimony."

The Russian Woodpecker (2015)


Director:
Chad Gracia

"A thrilling, award winning investigation into the ghosts of the Soviet Union and the mind of an irradiated Ukrainian artist on a quest to discover the "criminal" behind the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Unforgettably eccentric artist Fedor Alexandrovich begins his quest by revealing to the world an enormous secret Soviet weapon that stands in the shadow of Chernobyl, and which Kremlinologists in the 1980s thought might be a giant mind-control device. But what Fedor discovers is much more sinister. While his theory that Chernobyl was an inside job may seem mad, the audience too starts to question reality when secret police appear and one of the crew members is shot by a sniper, as revolution, paranoia and terror engulf the crew."

Playing Columbine (2008)


Director:
Danny Ledonne

Super Columbine Massacre RPG! - Neki od nas smo sa žarom igrali ovu u to doba zaista kontraverznu igricu, ali kakve je posledice ona ostavila na celokupan FPS žanr i uopšte na nasilje uključujući i pucnjave po američkim školama? Na ta i mnoga druga pitanja odgovara ovaj jako zanimljiv dokumentarac, jer sam uveren (verovatno grešim) da nema čoveka koji nikad nije sanjao ko dete da ode u svoju školu i pobije sve dušmane. E, ova igra nam je dala tu šansu bar u vidu RPG zajebancije. Hvala joj! :)

IMDB


"Chronicles the history of the game "Super Columbine Massacre RPG!." The film traces back the 16-bit role-playing game to its inception, through the 2006 shooting at Dawson College in which the game was singled out by the media as a "murder simulator" that "trained" the shooter, and finally the game's removal from the list of finalists at the Slamdance 2007 Guerrilla Gamemaker Competition - prompting half the entries and a sponsor to pull out of the festival in protest."

The Summit (2012)


Director:
Nick Ryan

"In August of 2008, 22 climbers from several international expeditions converged on High Camp of K2, the last stop before the summit of the most dangerous mountain on Earth. 48 hours later, eleven had been killed or simply vanished into thin air. Like a horror movie come-to-life, it was as if the mountain began stealing lives, one climber at a time.

One such climber was the fun-loving, friendly Ger McDonnell, the first Irishman to summit K2. Faced with a moral dilemma after finding three climbers tangled and struggling in K2's perilous "death zone", Ger defied the climber's code and attempted to help his fellow climbers descend. This is as much Ger's story as it is an homage to the fearsome power of nature."

From One Second To The Next (2013)


Director:
Werner Herzog

Preko 100.000 saobraćajnih nesreća u Sjedinjenim Državama na godišnjem nivou dogodi se kao posledica kuckanja poruka na mobilnim telefonima tokom vožnje. U ovom dokumentarcu iz 2013. Werner Herzog pokušava da nam približi ovaj narastajući problem kroz surova svedočenja osoba koje su bile žrtve ali ipak pukom srećom preživele takve saobraćajke, ali i ljudi koji su ih svojom bahatom vožnjom izazvali. Jako potresno i veoma upozoravajuće, jer takvi udesi se sve učestalije dešavaju i na našim ulicama, samo što se za sad o tome iz svima znanih razloga još ne govori dovoljno ozbiljno, ali kad tad će to biti neminovno jer ljudi su prosto postali ovisni o tzv. smart telefonima i bukvalno ih ne ispuštaju iz ruku.


"Acclaimed filmmaker Werner Herzog's wants to bring an end to the scourge of texting while driving once and for all — and he just might do it. In a powerful 35-minute PSA entitled From One Second to the Next, Herzog hauntingly and painfully documents the tragic testimonies of individuals who have shattered lives and have had their lives shattered as a direct result of texting and driving."

The Umbrella Man (2011)


Director:
Errol Morris

Kratki dokumentarac kultnog reditelja Errola Morrisa bavi se najnovijim filmskim apdejtom čuvene teorije zavere vezane za atentat na JFK-a. Između ostalog novinar Josiah Thompson koji već decenijama prati sve vezano za ovaj slučaj ovde posebno obraća pažnju na video snimke incidenta, a posebno na Zapruderov film, te tako pokreće jedno pitanje koje je iz nekog razloga do sada svima izmicalo u dokumentarcima: ko je misteriozni čovek u kišnom mantilu sa otvorenim crnim kišobranom koji se nalazio na trotoaru odmah ispod ozloglašenog grassy knoll-a, ako pritom znamo da je tog dana u Dalasu sunce pržilo na najjače? Da li se može postaviti teorija da je upravo taj čovek second shooter u toj unakrsnoj vatri koja je usledila, i da popularna teorija o atentatoru štekovanom iza tarabe na grassy knoll konačno pada u vodu? Dakle, jako zanimljivo, zar ne? Inače, pogledao sam 90% dokumentaraca vezanih za atentat na JFK-a, a ima ih bogami baš dosta (ovaj sam jedva iskopao jer nisam ni znao da postoji), pa čak neke i rado repriziram, što znači da mi ova priča nikada neće dosaditi što je u neku ruku i logično jer slučaj je realno ubedljivo najveća misterija 20. veka za koju su vezane nebrojene teorije zavere, i evo tek 9/11 je pretekao ovo ludilo po filmovima i teorijama, ali to je već neka druga priča, skroz drugi koncept, a i pripada novom milenijumu. Znači svakako preporučujem ovih 6 minuta a posebno jer se radi o Errolu Morrisu, jednom od 3 najjača svetska autora dokumentarnih filmova, koga možda najbolje poznajemo po masterpisu "The Thin Blue Line" iz 1988.


"Short film documentary about the mysterious umbrella man that appears in the Zapruder film during the assassination of president John F Kennedy in Dallas, Texas in 1963, November 22."

Nedjelja 13. (2015) - deo drugi


"Mnogo je država u svijetu u čijim nogometnim prvenstvima postoje utakmice koje prati posebna policijska pripravnost, nemile scene navijačkih ratova, a često i ubistva navijača suparničkih klubova. Činjenica da se ljudi ubijaju zbog boja svojih timova, ne predstavlja ništa spektakularno i spada u općepoznate i relativno prihvaćene devijacije savremenog društva.

Ipak, historija nogometa bilježi da su sukobi na zelenim terenima bili povod pravim ratovima. To se prvi put dogodilo 14. jula 1969. godine kada je El Salvador napao Honduras, a indirektni povod ratu bio je sukob navijača tih država tokom kvalifikacijske utakmice za Svjetsko prvenstvo u Meksiku ’70.

Istina, razlog za izbijanje sukoba bio je problem vlasništva nad zemljom u graničnim područjima te dvije države, odnosno pokušaj Hondurasa da zemljišnom reformom oduzme dio posjeda građanima El Salvadora i dodijeli ga svojim državljanima. Iako je taj oružani sukob trajao šest dana, spor je u potpunosti okončan tek 1980. godine mirovnim sporazumom.

Deset godina poslije, nekoliko dana nakon prvih višestranačkih izbora u Hrvatskoj, u vrijeme početka raspada Jugoslavije, u nedjelju 13. maja 1990. godine na zagrebačkom stadionu Maksimir dogodilo se, navodno, nešto slično. I danas postoje ljudi koji će reći da je ta utakmica između Dinama i Crvene Zvezde bila uvod u rat između te dvije bivše jugoslavenske republike.

Taj događaj američka televizijska kuća CNN uvrstila je među pet nogometnih utakmica koje su promijenile svijet. Na toj listi, maksimirski događaj zauzeo je četvrto mjesto. Onim šta se, zaista, događalo u Zagrebu tog 13. maja, bavi se dokumentarni film Igora Grahovca "Nedjelja 13."

Namjera filma je predstaviti svjedočanstva učesnika događaja od kojih većina, bar do danas, nije poznata javnosti.

Prikazano je šta se događalo uoči utakmice na maksimirskom stadionu, ali i izvan njega. Svoje poglede i sjećanja u dokumentarnom filmu "Nedjelja 13." iznose kompetentne osobe: navijači Bad Blue Boys i Delije, pripadnici Službe državne bezbjednosti, pripadnici tadašnjih milicijskih jedinica, novinari, predstavnici klubova i igrači oba tima...

Film je realizovan u koprodukciji Al Jazeere Balkans i B-produkcije iz Zagreba. Korišten je zanimljiv materijal iz arhiva HRT-a i RTS-a koji su, također, koproducenti filma."

Going Postal (2009)


Director:
Paul Tickell

Runtime: 90 min

IMDB

"Documentary telling the story of the school and workplace shootings
which have cast a shadow over American society since the 1980s. The
programme includes interviews with survivors, the families of those who
died, and the friends and families of the murderers.


How and why does this violence occur? The tenth anniversary of the
Columbine massacre is in 2009, but the phenomenon is twice as old and
hundreds have been killed. Michael Carneal, serving a life sentence for
a notorious school shooting in Kentucky when he was 14, is interviewed.
His raw and troubling story, and those of other shootings, are placed
in context by interviews with people who have researched the subject in
depth, from the first cluster of shootings in the 1980s in the US
Postal Service - hence the phrase 'going postal' - to more recent
occurrences.


Author Mark Ames argues that although mental instability plays a role,
American rampage shooters are rarely insane and are impossible to
profile: they could be the person sitting next to you in class or in
the office."

Blackfish (2013)


Director:
Gabriela Cowperthwaite

Runtime: 83 min

IMDB
The odličan, znači must see!


"Blackfish, is a documentary film about the multiple incidents, including the three deaths, that prompted the ongoing court case between Sea World, and OSHA, the "Occupational Safety and Health Admissions". These 3 deaths, which included 2 Orca trainers, were caused by Sea World's infamous bull Orca "Tilikum." Through a series of interviews with former Orca trainers that worked with, or around Tilikum, and other problematic captive Orca, the film tries to find an explanation for what happened."

West of Memphis (2012)


Director:
Amy Berg

Runtime: 147 min

Nema šta više da vam pričam o WM3, ko još nije čuo za ovo, sad je odlična prilika. Znači, WM3 slučaj sagledan iz skroz drugačije perspektive nego u Paradise Lost serijalu. Dakle, must, must, must, must see, jer je genijalno, i drži pažnju bez problema preko dva sata. Novi detalji, nova ludila, znači nije mi dobro, al' uopšte. Inače, autorka je radila i dojajan dokumentarac "Deliver us from evil", so check it out, yeah!


"West of Memphis is an examination of a failure of justice in Arkansas. The documentary tells the hitherto unknown story behind an extraordinary and desperate fight to bring the truth to light. Told and made by those who lived it, the filmmakers' unprecedented access to the inner workings of the defense, allows the film to show the investigation, research and appeals process in a way that has never been seen before; revealing shocking and disturbing new information about a case that still haunts the American South."
