Welcome

Doc. Thursday (short for "Documentary Thursday") is a tradition first started a few years back by a Kyle N**. The torch was carried on by his associates Jenn and Miranda. It was a time set aside, once a week for a Documentary. That's right, educational entertainment. (Which of course is very cool) So it's pretty much as simple as it sounds. Once a week, get some friends, get a treat (I recommend milkshakes) and get a doc. One doc a week is a good New Year's Resolution if you ask me...

Now, we are all about homogenizing society, (not to mention parentheses and sarcastic statements) so every week we'll post the "Doc of the week" right here. Many will be available at your local rental store (Hollywood Video, Blockbuster, etc.) but if not, Netflix is a safe bet for the more obscure. So here it is, week 2, (week 1 was last thursday, we watched "Touch the Sound")



I think this is an appropriate official start, Paradise Lost covers a very current issue. Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley are currently in prison consequent of a trial which can only be described as shocking. Recently Damien was on Larry King Live, feel free to watch the YouTube clip below or read more about this film here at Netflix.
