Super Size Me (Dir. Morgan Spurlock 2004): Here's a documentary that needs absolutely no introduction. Why is America so fat? This is the question that Morgan Spurlock wanted to answer. He set out to interview experts in 20 US cities including Houston the fattest city in America whilst at the same time conducting his own personal experiment: eat nothing but McDonalds for 30 days straight. There were four rules: 1. No options: only eat what was available over the counter (including water!) 2. No 'supersizing' unless offered 3. No excuses: eat every item on the menu at least once 4. No quitting: eat three square meals a day from McDonalds The results shocked even the doctors who were monitoring his experiment...

Shackleton's South is film-maker Frank Hurley's astonishing documentary of Sir Ernest Shackleton's heroic but ill-starred two-year voyage and epic struggle for survival. In July 1914, Shackleton and his crew - including Hurley - sailed from England for Antarctica, hoping to be the first explorers to cross the continent. However, 80 miles from land, the Endurance became locked in impenetrable pack ice. For the next nine months, the crew desperately tried to batter their way back to open water. In 1915, the crew and their sleigh dogs were forced to abandon the Endurance as the pressure of the ice began crushing the ship. The crew was able to row to Elephant Island, where 22 remained, while Shackleton and five others attempted the desperate 800-mile voyage to inhabited South Georgia Island. This incredible historical document is hosted by James Cracknell to help explain and highlight the plight and struggle faced by Shackleton and his crew and the significance it still holds today.

Why did the White House stonewall the 9/11 investigation? Following the attacks of September 11th a small group of grieving families waged a tenacious battle against those who sought to bury the truth about the event - including to their amazement President Bush. In 9/11: Press for Truth six of them including three of the famous 'Jersey Girls ' tell for the first time the powerful story of how they took on the greatest powers in Washington - and won - compelling an investigation only to subsequently watch the 9/11 Commission fail in answering most of their questions. Adapting Paul Thompson's definitive Complete 9/11 Timeline (published by Harper-Collins as The Terror Timeline) the filmmakers collaborate with documentary veterans Globalvision (WMD: Weapons of Mass Deception Beyond JFK) to stitch together rare overlooked news clips buried stories and government press conferences revealing a pattern of official lies deception and spin. As a result a very different picture of 9/11 emerges one that raises new and more pressing questions. Among the explosive revelations: - The U.S. received over a dozen warnings from allies before 9/11 specifying time frame targets and method of attack. - The Attorney General stopped flying commercially and other U.S. officials took similar actions to protect themselves while never warning the American public. - Thousands of al Qaeda fighters were airlifted from Afghanistan during the war by Pakistan - with the expressed approval of the U.S. military. - According to the CIA Field Commander for Tora Bora during the invasion the U.S. chose to let Osama bin Laden escape Afghanistan. - Within days of 9/11 the White House secretly worked out a deal to partner with a nation it knew to be a state sponsor of the attacks. Most are unaware that the formation of the 9/11 Commission was strongly opposed by many in Washington including the Bush administration. It was only due to the pressure from the 9/11 families led by a particular twelve calling themselves the Family Steering Committee that fourteen months after the attacks the first hearing finally began. In the end the Final Report failed to answer seventy percent of the families' questions. In 9/11: Press for Truth five of the most prominent members of the Family Steering Committee tell their story for the first time providing the most powerful argument yet for why 9/11 still needs investigating.
