Three really good ones from HBO this year

-With a new invention that promised to revolutionize blood testing, Elizabeth Holmes became the world's youngest self-made billionaire, heralded as the next Steve Jobs. Then, just two years later, her multibillion-dollar company was dissolved.

Leaving Neverland
-At the height of his stardom, Michael Jackson began long-running relationships with two boys, aged 7 and 10, and their families. Now in their 30s, they tell the story of how they were sexually abused by Jackson.

The case against adnan syed
-The podcast serial brought this case to the mass attention, id suggest listening to the podcast before watching the documentary.

Watched The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley...it's good, but very looooong winded. So much harping on the same thing, rephrasing a lot of stuff over and over.

I felt that too, I admit i expected abit more from the doc especially since it was from Alex Gibney, but If you want the full story with all the good juicy details i highly recommend the book Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a silicon Valley Startup by John Carreyrou. He is the reporter who broke the story with a series of articles in the Wall Street Journal. He appears in the documentary as well. You can get the audio book at tpb.:sneaky:
 
ReMastered: Devil at the Crossroads

Other than the awesome music of Robert Johnson ("They're Red Hot" is my favorite), nice documentary.

There are a number of the ReMastered documentaries.

Sam Cooke, the Lion's Share covering Solomon Linda's tune in the Lion King song and the one with Johnny Cash and Richard Nixon were rather good.

I wasn't particularly fond of Who Shot the Sheriff; it fell a bit shallow.

Have yet to watch the other 2 or 3 remaining ones.
 

Grammy® award-winning American composer Eric Whitacre’s symphonic work Deep Field was inspired by the world’s most famous space observatory, the Hubble Space Telescope, and its greatest discovery – the iconic Deep Field image.
