True or False Life Trumps Movies?

Rate: 0 Flag

This is my attempt to praise my favorite thirty documentaries of the last ten years.  If you do not agree, and I am sure some won’t, that is your opinion, I am just expressing mine.  This list was inspired by my attendance of the annual True/False Film Festival. 

 Life got in the way of this project, but with about a week to go I am going write about my top four documentaries of the last 10 years.  We are five days out from the start of the True/False Film Festival and over the next four I will highlight a movie a day.   I wish I was able to write about the movies below and I will come back to do it at a later date, because they are all fantastic movies and deserve their own column.  

So here are movies sixteen through five.
