Favorite Documentaries on People/Society

Off the top of my head

Restrepo - "Photographer Tim Hetherington and journalist Sebastian Junger allow the realities of war to speak for themselves in this unnarrated documentary about a U.S. platoon in Afghanistan. The men of Second Platoon, Battle Company, 173rd Airborne Brigade teeter from naivete to weariness as months of alternating boredom and fighting take their toll. The loss of medic Juan "Doc" Restrepo leads the platoon to name an outpost in the remote Korengal Valley after him."

Happy People: A Year in the Taiga - "A documentary depicting the life and work of the trappers of Bakhtia, a village in the heart of the Siberian Taiga, where daily life has changed little in over a century."

The Grizzly Man

I've seen both Seven-Up and Chronicles of a Summer (I think you suggested them a while back). I enjoyed both of them.
