Documentary Junkie Alert: VBS TV -- The best independent journalism I see today.
Edited on Sun Apr-25-10 06:40 PM by troubledamerican
WARNING: If you are easily distracted-for-days by some of the best filmmaking you'll ever see, don't blame me.

Vice Magazine's foray into independent journalism will give you a burst of adrenaline.

There is no mainstream U.S. journalism like it today.

There is almost no documentary filmmaking like it today.

Here are three samples to get you started. They are very short.

The Vice Guide To Liberia -- Part 1
Sex, street cannibalism vendors, and Evangelical Snake-oilers
Warning: Rated R

The Homemade Automatic-Guns Markets of Pakistan
Sorry, U.S. television isn't interested in scary stuff like this, Part 1

Bulgarian Dirty Bomb Marketplace
Sorry, U.S. television isnt interested in scary stuff like this, Part 2
http://www.vbs.tv/watch/the-vice-guide-to-travel/bulgarian-dirty-bombs

Tell me I'm wrong.

Tell me you're not hooked.
