The movie also shows music as this huge living fabric where people all over the world riff off of each other; the biggest hits are often the most unlikely combinations.pic.twitter.com/s1BOAl4WvX

      A great documentary I just rewatched was this 35-minute YouTube video. It talks about an old video game, but then it goes deeper, and deeper, and deeper still – only to reveal itself at the end to be about something much more meaningful. Very recommended.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnPOQr1pxY8 …

      The Woman Who Wasn’t There: A portrait of a serial confabulator, and how it’s possible to find meaning and identity – or simply an opportunity to deceive – in mass tragedy. Interesting visually. Wish it went further, but maybe the point is that it’s not really possible to do so.pic.twitter.com/J7ULX8Kp2b

          The Thin Blue Line: Morris wanted to avoid labeling this a “documentary,” and I can see why; this 1988 film doesn’t feel quite like any other I’ve seen. I can’t say that the murder case gripped me – but the production, narrative, and meta sides of the film are truly fascinating.pic.twitter.com/CGTpL7pRiC

          When They See Us: I decided to watch this docudrama this weekend as part of my education. It’s about the injustice and entrenched institutional racism underlying the 1989 NYC Central Park Five case, and I would encourage you to watch it, too – it’s on Netflix.pic.twitter.com/59o00vGj8r

          Do Not Resist: A 2016 documentary about the militarization of the police in America. Maybe more relevant today than it was then. It weaves through Ferguson, protests in general, some pretty gross glorification of violence, James Comey (oof), and surveillance.pic.twitter.com/ixwmo790re
