Thanks , Ive never really watched any thing Anthony Bourdain , but I'm going to check this out 

..., also "The 7 ages of Elvis' ..., watched last night. I thought it was very well made, didn't embellish or sensationalise. Overall a good doco.

..., I also enjoyed "Regarding Susan Sontag" ..., but I suspect some people of a specific political leaning would rather snorkle in a pool of poo before watching this !

Actually I think Anthony Bourdain's Doco is called "Wasted"..., however, there is also an Aussie 4 part Doco series called "War on Waste" that is also very enlightening !

The Farthest

 

A bbc storyville doc about the Voyagers journey through space (it has since left our galaxy)

 

Breathtaking and inspiring stuff

I watched this quite good.  While you are reading this Voyager1 has traveled another 50 miles away from Earth. At 10 miles a second!

The China Hustle

 

Excellent and sad doco on the new wave chinese scam in collusion with american investment firms to defraud ordinary people 

of billions by listing shady chinese companies on the us stock market.

Thanks for this recommendation.

 

Although they are all small time traders doing $100-200 million deals, one of them says something very interesting, when referring to China: "We have never seen such a rapid capital build up, without a crises following"

4 of the world biggest banks are Chinese and the kind of stuff they have on their balance sheets will scare even the devil.
