What did you want to know? I'm curious as I might know the answer. But they definitely did not burn a million quid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted May 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) Watched Our Father on Netflix last night. About a fertility doctor in USA using his own specimen on countless patients to good effect it seems. Around 90 siblings they know about and counting. No acknowledgeable crime committed though. Crazy. An interesting watch, that’s for sure! Edited May 15, 2022 by villan-scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 The 8 part Muhammad Ali documentary series on BBC I player is well worth a watch. Won't be any surprises for anyone who knows Ali's story but it is really well put together with some great old footage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Last night I watched The Cave. It follows a young female paediatric doctor working in a secret underground hospital in war torn Eastern Ghouta, Syria. The area was under Russian/Assad siege for years, with daily bombings and chlorine attacks from the Russian scum, much like what’s happening in Ukraine today. It’s a powerful film, sad and moving. Well worth a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Really enjoying the Muhammad Ali doc on BBC IPlayer. A great quote from Michael Bent on the first Ali - Frazier fight, "Ali wanted it, but Joe needed it". Ken Burns never disappoints. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that is the one, but one documentary I watched painted him as a bit of a racist. Love some of his quotes "Iv'e had 180 amateur fights and 22 professional fights, an I'm still as pretty as a girl, I can't be beaten"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one does, but not at white people as you would think, but at some of his fellow, black opponents, particularly, Joe Frazier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Just watched another episode of the Ali documentary. Surely the victory over Foreman has to be acknowledged has one of the greatest, individual sporting, performances of all time. It's amazing how he neutralized the power of Foreman by, ironically, standing in front of him. If he had told his team , before the fight, the strategy he was going to use, I think they may have tried to get the fight called off, such was the fear surrounding Foreman's power. "Ali, bomaye". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Our Father on netflix Doc about an American birth clinic Dr who uses his own juice for the turkey baster The story is good but the documentary isn't particularly well made imo For a couple of reasons I didn't actually find myself siding with the victims a lot of the time, there's a lot of accusations thrown out there which they don't do anything to back up and end up being rambling conspiracy theories, I thought they should have gone in to far more depth about the legal ramifications of what he did and I'm not sure on a scale of 1 to 10 how much of a bastard he is, first thoughts is I've only got him at around a 6/10, I struggled with the mental issues and the whole "I don't know who I am anymore" side of it and then I thought most bizarrely there's not a single dad in the whole doc, that would be the gut punch for me, that's where what he's done is worse imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
