Top 10 Most Remarkable Coincidences in History
bit.ly/1MbDIoE

Documentaries can entertain, charm, enlighten, and horrify more powerfully than anything Hollywood can produce. Here are ten of the most disturbing documentaries ever made, in chronological order from when they were released.

I loved the part in Jesus Camp when one kid mentioned that he had read Harry Potter and several other kids started freaking out.
get them to watch Twilight.
Should be part of any indoctrination schedule.
WARLOCKS ARE ENEMIES OF GOD! -Crazy fundie lady
Ethan Brant christian and i loved the potter books :P sadly some people like my mom take the bs of others too seriously by them twisting the words of the teachings around to fit there own agendas instead of actually doing the reading for themselves aka we are tough that PRACTICING which craft is the issue not reading something built on fantasy its like the idiot school bus driver i heard about from childhood friends who saw her take away his pokemon cards cause they used "black magic" lmfao and people wonder why christians get pushed in with the extremist cultists
Ethan Brant I wasn't allowed to read Harry Potter as a kid because my Christian parents said it was the Devil's work or some such crap.
Alise A yep same excuse i got lol
What more disturbing than the films are the comments people make about them like, "This is child's play, let me show you real suicide." or "Not enough blood came out." like... there are a lot of sickos on the net.
One documentary (I think Vice who did it) who interviews Issei Sagawa, a cannibal, who ate this French woman and was basically let go was pretty disturbing
Good ole Joe-a-Quinn Phoenix

I have commented on the subject of Simons pronunciation before and will again, have you ever thought that Simon could have word blindness that causes him to mispronounce words, ok, sometimes it’s annoying, but is it really necessary to turn it into a joke that isn’t funny. Comment on the content and not the narration.
@@allandavis8201 let them do it. He doesn't care, probably doesn't even read them (after all he's only the host and if you read the credits there's a whole team that creates these videos...) Plus, each view and comment, whether positive or negative, boosts his ratings! Let them try to sing a song that they have neither written nor can sing themselves... 😃
I came here just to comment on this.
I love this guys voice.
Indeed, it is.
***** you've pulled mate
Lauren Kelsey It is because you are a white american yuppie girl. Yes I am a troll.
Christian Corral Jokes on you because i'm English.
Lauren Kelsey No you aren't.
I’m glad you mentioned earthlings. In years to come this will be seen as one of the most important documentaries of all time.
The "Faces of Death." series was the talk of the 1990s.
Anyone who watches real people dying as a form of entertainment isnt even a human being in my opinion. I am disgusted and apalled by those cretins.
An accurate list on how sick people are...
"Dear Zachary - A letter to a son about his father" is something I would also include.
This documentary made me cry hard and often. I was surprised at the amount of emotion you feel. Its a very powerful story.
Ty for that suggestion...I just watched it. It was one of the best documentary ive ever watched.
Jeffrey Lebowski Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try looking for it.
That is an awesome doc and truly upsetting.
Jeffrey Lebowski I just watched that yesterday. It was really good, but it made so angry!!! Crazy one person can just come into someones life and destroy a whole family
i like how your content is quite different from other lists on the same topic. good job.
I watched Dear Zachary and I was torn between crying my eyes out and wanting to punch someone in the face. I had never been so angry and devastated by a documentary in my life. It didn't help that I had watched Blackfish the day before either.
Fangirl1502 whats Dear Zachary about??
Yes I watched Dear Zachary. Sad sad story.
GreenLea24 what is it
+N00bT00ber It's about the murder story of Andrew Bigby in the early 2000s. This documentary was made for Bigby's son, Zachary, where it shows how his father was a really great man before he died. Actually, there's more to it and you really have to watch it. It certainly did make me ball my eyes out and be all depressed about it the whole day.
Sounds intense, thanks.
Love this list, I'll be sure to check the documentaries I haven't watched and the rest of your channel. Keep up the good work :D
I've seen a handful of these. The Bridge was extremely difficult to watch. I almost couldn't get through it. I was trying to understand something that almost happened in my own family, and honestly I don't suppose I ever will, but the film I think serves as a small window into the depths of sadness that those who suffer depression (or endure other hardship they can't bear to face) experience. Very moving though upsetting documentary.
The evil that exists in this world is just beyond words....
This is one of your best videos.
WOW!!Thank you for your sharing.
# 6 When you say they tried to save the jumpers when they could that is incorrect. The director has taken much flack for filming Gene Sprague in obvious distress walking back and forth, occasionally stopping and looking down and the water and obviously checking to see if anyone is nearby. The camera tracks him for 45 minutes and the film makers never act to save his life. The filmmakers then interview his friends without telling them that they have filmed his death and the death of several others, this caused them to feel that the filmmakers had taken advantage of them. The only people saved during the course of filming were saved by people on the bridge and this film is used in classes on ethics in documentary making as an example of what you shouldn't do.
fadiekay *at , not " AND " , now you messed your ENTIRE point TF up , smh . . . .
To be fair, the camera trained on the bridge was _several miles away_ using a telephoto lens, and left running unmanned for hours and hours. So they could not exactly call in a suicide when a majority of the time they weren't even there. I just think that should be mentioned with this. I'm not condoning how the filmmakers made the documentary or whether it was moral or insensitive or not, I just don't think people should be under the impression that the filmmakers were even _on the bridge_ when the suicides took place. On top of that, there's nothing particularly distressing about a person pacing back and forth. How could someone know what a person is thinking? It's not the filmmaker's fault that the bridge is so accessible for committing suicide; they have been talking about putting up nets as a preventative measure for years but never do it.
What *is* rather questionable is that they interviewed family & friends of some of the jumpers, and didn't inform them they had footage of the suicides.
The Bridge is VERY disturbing but also moving;I've had depression myself & I cried so much watching it;it is heart-wrenching!
Love you're posts top tenz! Keep up the AWESOME work guys! Bravo! 👏👏👏
You're pretty disturbing
Your*
I am glad I have never heard of any of these videos, I don’t think that I could watch any of them without some form of intense response to the horrendous content they document , and at this time I can’t afford a new television or DVD player etc. But thanks for another great list Simon and team.
I love your videos! I really enjoy the variety of topics. Everyday i have at least ten interesting new things to share with others thanks to you guys. Oh, and I think the narrator is fantastic. Pleasant to listen to and a nice cadence. Thank you again!
***** i took your challenge for cropsey didn't scare me one bit!
I AM SO HAPPY YOU TALKED ABOUT JESUS CAMP! Who would raise their kids to think that way?! The part where they flint he home school kids and they say "the pledge of ailgance" but it's not even the pledge and then they say "the pledge to god" those people are crazy
Liz M oh look another athinazi whats next you gonna cherry pick quotes from the bible completly ignoring what each p[art stands for? aka old testiment history new testiment what christians follow
nightshadow wolfpaw So criticising fanatics is comparable to the NSDAP now? Interesting.
Sir Evilmustache i call them how i see them
nightshadow wolfpaw www.glasses.com/
Sir Evilmustache is it me or do religious people seem to always do the same thing...
by that i mean any one or any group giving their religion a bad name is either heresy or a demon but if they do good on their religions word they're good people sounds to me they are cherry picking who they consider part of their religion...
"Joe- ah- Quinn Phoenix" might be one of the worst pronunciations he made on this channel.
Wiktor Grodecki's "Not Angels But Angels" and "Body Without Soul" disturbed and depressed me deeply. They're about teenage hustelrs in the Czech Republic. Also "Children Underground" and "The Children of Leningradsky", about homeless children, are very disturbing.
Excellent, well presented
Earthlings is by far the most distressing documentary I've ever seen...
Matilda Rose u should try watching Lucent.....
Love your vids man hope your subs are growing.
***** lol
These are really well done, and entertainingly narrated, top ten vids. I am telling friends.
I've seen most of these documentaries, and the one in the number 2 spot here, "The Hammer Maniacs" should not be watched until the following has been read. It is the most eloquent description of why some things don't need to be seen. Imagine watching something so disturbing that you think the footage might damage your computer, or makes you feel physically "high" in not a good way, only later to succumb to nausea, or can cause you to lose sleep. That is what "3 Guys and a Hammer" can do to a person of normal sensibilities. Realizing these things also happened to children, animals and pregnant women can only cause you more emotional turmoil.
"From The Times
January 12, 2009
It took 1 min 47 seconds for my memory to become host to a horror that will never go
It is the details in watching someone die that are the most awful and rattle you the most
Caitlin Moran
Four weeks ago I saw a murder on the internet. There isn't a punchline to this; it is not an intriguing play on words. Four weeks ago someone on a chatboard posted a link, with the exhortation: “See if you can keep your breakfast down after watching this! I couldn't!”
Since “See if you can keep your breakfast down after watching this!” is, as one poster pointed out later, the kind of comment that, in the 21st century, precedes a link to a very fat woman trying to get out of a very small car or - if the chatboard is really bitchy - that shot where Mischa Barton is mixing Lacroix and Chanel very badly, quite a few of us clicked on the link.
Instead, it took us to some footage shot on a mobile phone, in some bland, murky woodland. It appears to be early summer. Fifteen feet away there's a man on the ground. It's immediately clear that a great many terrible things have happened to him quite recently, and that he will die very, very soon.
The point of writing about this is that I have not really felt the same since I saw the murder, so I am not going to describe things in great detail - even though it is the details in watching someone die that are the most awful, and fascinating, and that rattle you the most.
Of the non-gory things, it is the man's trousers - grey, slightly worn but ironed; the kind that a poor, proud man would wear if he were going to the bank, say, or visiting more well-to-do friends - that were the most upsetting. He had dressed in great calm, and great order. He was now dying in unimaginable disorder and distress.
I do have to tell you that the man was being tortured - and not torture as shown on television dramas or films, which often looks like an aerobics session with a particularly strict personal trainer. One where you just have to “work through the burn” for a few minutes, like Madonna, before effecting an exciting escape. Two similar-looking teenagers were gathered around the man, and their torture was about brutally killing someone very slowly.
The footage is nearly seven minutes long. I stopped watching after 1.47. I felt physically different - very very high, in a bad way, as if I were going to pass out. I was also, with sudden irrationality, worried that the footage might in some way damage my computer, which I turned off, then unplugged, then covered with a cloth.
I think really that that is what I would have liked to do with my brain, but I couldn't. I still wasn't really sure what I'd seen. A large part of me was working on the hopeful premise that it was a very convincing drama project by some students - the kind of thing that was about to become a big viral hit, and about which the Daily Mail would become enjoyably enraged.
Simultaneously, I was telling myself that it was probably a revenge attack - that this man had attacked a lover, killed a child, and although his murder was awful, in a world of almost infinite sorrow it was not the unconscionably profane insult to humanity that it first appeared to be. I was using the thought of torturous retribution as a comfort.
At 3 pm, doing the school run, I walked past the zebra crossings and recycling boxes, thinking what a surreal, inappropriate thing it was to be a mother of two, in a pair of bourgeois Ugg boots, going to pick up her children from school while thinking of a man being murdered in a wood.
Of course, it did occur to me that for whole generations - whole populations - walking down a street thinking of murder and death is absolutely commonplace. I could see why my granddad - in common with most men returning from the front - never talked about what had happened. I'd always thought that it was because they didn't want to say “I've killed a man” or “I saw a man being killed”, as the simple immensity of the fact would be upsetting. I realised now that it wasn't the simple, enormous facts that were upsetting but, as I mentioned before, the details, instead.
Any follow-up statement to “I killed a man” would involve the unexpected, quiet, horrible sounds; the sudden crash course in the structure of the skull; the slowness and then the quickness of blood. Best not to make the initial pronouncement in the first place.
By the time I got back home - on a walk during which I held the girls' hands far more tightly than usual - everyone on the messageboard was in uproar. Ric had found out more about the footage, and posted a Wikipedia link on the subject. The murder really was a murder - and not a drama project after all.
It happened in 2007, as part of a summer-long spree in which 21 people were murdered in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine. The trial is still going on. With possibly the biggest and most immediate sadness I have ever felt in my life, one penultimate sentence noted that most of the victims were vulnerable people - vagrants, the elderly, a pregnant woman, children. There was no comforting aspect of revenge.
And now, the additional nauseous business of the subconscious - for one unstoppable, white-light second - reimagining it all with children.
I don't want to overstate the whole thing, or be too dramatic. I had two subsequent nights during which getting to sleep was quite difficult, and I had to climb into my youngest child's bed and wrap myself right round her while pints of anxiety sat, like bad alcohol, in my guts. But it hasn't driven me insane, or made me question my world view. I am still an essentially shallow optimist. I am not damaged.
What I am, however, is host to something that will never leave. It made me realise that you should take great care in what you choose - often in a cavalier moment - to place in your memory, because some things will sit there for ever, like a bad seed; like a shadow on the moon; like a crow on a fence in a dream.
A very tiny part of me now, and will always, consist of an elderly man dying in a wood in Ukraine."

Canadian Girl You're welcome, anytime. Serenity is a precious thing, so hold on to it as best you can! Happy 2015 :-)
Val Halla This is beautifully written.
Billy Way I agree, and I have also refused to view the video because of Caitlin Moran's beautifully written cautionary essay on the importance of being selective about what you imprint on your memory.
***** What borders on preposterous is the notion that watching the video without flinching or reacting makes one admirably strong or "macho."
Not everyone is inured to senseless violence and injury. I'm not saying categorically "don't watch the video", but I do feel that people should make the decision from an informed standpoint.
I know people who have seen the beheading videos coming from IS without significant personal trauma, who are extremely disturbed by what has popularly become known as "Three Guys One Hammer." Perhaps it is the knowledge that the victim of the "Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs" in the video, Sergei Yatzenko, was entirely innocent (rather than soldiers who know the potential consequences of war), that makes the video so traumatizing.
Consider that Mr. Yatzenko was a gentle human being, disabled by cancer, trying to attend to the needs of his mother and his spouse, and realize the pain and torment he had to endure by repeatedly having his face, and the sensitive sinus cavities and eye orbits, smashed with a common hammer, having his eyes poked with a sharp instrument, having his abdomen stabbed (an area highly enervated), while simultaneously having to hear the heartless jeers and mocking of his tormentors, and then realize that these "Maniacs" also attacked children, pets and a pregnant woman who had her fetus cut out while she was alive, and then tell me how the author's sensitivity is "preposterous".
***** A person does not have to have a personal relationship with another person to be traumatized by seeing something like a senseless torture murder. Some people have emotional reactions to fictional movies, and can remember how they responded years after the fact. As I said, this woman was obviously not as inured to brutality as someone else who, for example, has just returned from a war zone. Nevertheless, she also doesn't say she was walking around in a post-traumatic haze for weeks. She had two nights of troubled sleep, and she wrote of the experience four weeks after the fact, with her immediate reaction still fresh in her mind. I don't find any of that preposterous. I am impressed by her humanity and compassion.
By contrast, people who grievously mourn the death of a celebrity as if they personally knew the individual when they did not, or commit suicide after a prominent person's suicide or murder, I agree, would be outside the norm.
Great work! Gained a subscriber
The bridge is sad. Ive watched it so many times and I can't get over the fact that so many people couldn't get help in time.
Good list. Surprised not to see The Act of Killing here, one of the best documentaries ever made and, like Shoah, one of the best depictions of the banality of evil. That documentary is *really* hard to watch, but it is a must.
I like how you have some of the mentioned movies are in the "similar clips" selection for this video.
Hey Daven and Simon (and the writers), could you make an updated version of this video, with documentaries that have been made since?
Superb list.
Faces of death is really messed up, I saw it over 20years ago and still can't erase some of that footage from my memory
Wah-keen Phoenix.
Yeah, I know right?
I'm so glad I'm starting to forget the man's face from 3 guys and a hammer, that shit haunted me for years
I didn't know whether to like or dislike this until towards the end when the narrator (whom I believe to be Simon Whistler) actually worried if he was pronouncing something right! That was enough to make me love it.
I wonder where the kids in Jesus Camp are now. I also want to know how Levi feels about having a character in Attack on Titan named after him.
I thought Cropsey was a wonderful documentary. I have seen most of these and really appreciate the work put into them.
wait so you mean to tell me the bride kidnapping is more disturbing then the 3 sociopaths that were killing ppl with hammers?
I cried while watching both the Earthlings and the Cove. I've seen a lot of atrocities in my 10 years of animal activism, but still it just breaks my heart to see animals suffer.. and I was even more glad I'm a vegetarian, refuse to wear fur or use produts tested on animals.
I have heard WAY too much about Earthlings... I am never, ever watching it ._.
I would recommend it to ALL people x
As it would happen I've seen "Cropsy" and it was in the dark and totally alone and yeah it's really creepy.
Back in 1991, one of the old theaters on Hollywood Blvd did a Faces Of Death film fest and had all 3 0r 4 FOD movies. It was such an event, worthy of William Castle or John Water: announcements made before the movie that "these are the most terrifying and violent movies in existence, and they're REAL!". They even handed out barf bags before you entered the theater.
Dude I know your English but you slaughter some names. Joaquin Phoenix is pronounced "Waa Keen" and it's "Nic er ah gwa" for Nicaragua. Love your work though.
Shut up
Gave Cropsey a watch a while ago and never finished it, I got bored and never got around to finishing it. I may have to give it another go, though.
I was so glad to see Shoah on here. So powerful and stark. And interestingly, 2 years after this video was made, Dnepropetrovsk's name was changed to the much more easy-to-pronounce Dnipro.
I've watched earthlings and that was one of the most horrifying things I've seen! Jesus camp was equally terrifying. There are also others not mentioned here you should do another of top ten disturbing documentaries. Love your videos by the way
"Joe -a- quinn." Come on, man.
I know I'm probably going to regret this, but...I'm gonna watch the Kyrgyzstan documentary.
don't watch the Kyrgyzstan documentary unless you want to rage for the next ten years, especially at the fucking director.
stolenbaby2008 your channel name is stolen baby...i can't even...
stolenbaby2008 I think all people should watch it and become educated with the unfair treatment of women in different parts of the world. It could open eyes.
Vice does a doc on it to that you can watch, they also have one on this japanse cannibal, its fascinating and disturbing
shit, that's an unfortunate connection. My name is a reference to a band I like called Stolen Babies, not to actual, like...stolen babies. lol sorry. Been meaning to change it anyways.
I agree, I've seen Earthlings four times and it doesn't get easier, also The Cove, is a heartbreaking material.
I'm surprised that "Chicken Hawk" didn't make the list.
I haven't seen Shoah, but we were shown Night and Fog in high school, which was very disturbing.
Subbed
Every time I noticed I was driving too fast, I made myself watch the Autobahn scene Faces of Death. That slowed me down at least a year or two. Reality check.
Someone needs to make a documentary about the horrific animal "crush" videos and the freaks that actually find them attractive, the mainstream public really needs to know this.
Look up Zoo, that's a documentary that focuses on that
This does not even scratch on what disturbing world is outside
Definitely agree on these documentaries, especially Cropsey. Definitely cannot watch that in the dark.
where was "Trace's of Death" from the vid co. Brain Damage? Have you already mentioned it in a previous vid?
5:15 Perhaps if the Japanese want to be seen in a better light the should stop murdering sentient beings that are probably as smart (or nearly so) as humans. And yes this IS murder.
*****
I never said dolphins are people, but isn't it grossly homo-centric to consider humans as the only animals that can think and have emotions? You admit that dolphins are intelligent, why is it so hard to consider that they might be on a level with humans?
Eric Taylor I agree. I too, believe it's murder. Thank God for India, stating that dolphins and cetaceans have rights there!
You people are ridiculous. Killing a non-human is NOT murder by definition. You want to talk about killing animals? Fine. But enjoy your hypocrisy, as you stuff yourself with all the chicken, pork and beef your face can handle. You want to talk about intelligence? Then explain why pig consumption is okay? You want to talk about cruelty? How about chickens?
You people are so focused on your own ethno-centristic views that you never once stop to see the hypocrisy of it. If Indians ruled the world, no more beef products...would you be okay with bending your cultural views on animals to another cultural perspective? I wouldn't think so.
The Cove is an emotionally-manipulative garbage of a documentary that spends its time anthropomorphizing the dolphins, while not once exploring the idea that different cultures have different views on animals - and that's okay
Though I agree, it's only a small population from an equally small fishing town called Taiji that actually does the deed. Most Japanese people either don't know about it or are actively opposing it.
Yeah. It seems like the older generation does this. I love Japan, but I am against this. Luckily, most are opposed to it.
I have seen this before I used to have tapes of the show for my VCR don't have them anymore and I do not have the tapes anymore it was quite creepy!
I've seen most of these ..... And I would encourage everyone to watch the cove and jesus camp. The cove is a little bit more graphic but if you consider yourself an animal lover, you need to see it (earthlings was really really disturbing to me, I couldn't watch some of the scenes). Jesus Camp is not graphic at all but it will make you think A LOT ..... 5 years later, I don't think me and my friends are done talking about it !!!
Also, I'm never ever coming close to the one about thammer guys..... I feel horrible just hearing about it!!
PS : Keep up the good work!!!! I've browsed through your vids and I will definitely watch a few of them real soon (that's when I'm done binging on cool documentaries I haven't seen yet!)
after number 3 , hmm no thanks
hahaha the way you pronounce Nicaragua is very funny... Really good video though.
Rodolfo Amavizca tar-get?
I had to stop at #5....too depressing.
I think I'm more disturbed at how this man pronounced Joaquin Phoenix's name than I was watching Earthlings
The Bridge was one riveting documentary. They set up a camera in an area seemingly a mile from where the bridge was and just waited. An average of 25 people kill themselves every year on the Golden Gate Bridge according the the documentary.
Simon,ke lerato wena.You are a hero.Ke ya lebua.
I grew up with Faces Of Death (later called Traces Of Death)
Traces is a completely different series.
I'm glad I don't know you.
Werner Herzog is a legend in filmmaking. He survived Klaus Kinski :D
Great advertising for your documentary
I tried to watch Earthlings and only got to the third "section". Made me give up meat. It is here on RUclips.
The Black Johnny Gat Thank you! :) Now go vegan! Try watching *****'s videos! They're awesome!
StaraptorEagle Ⓥ never will happen, to expensive for one and i love cheese to much. i rarely eat dairy to be honest though
Actually, it doesn't have to be. I'm glad you don't eat dairy that often. Stuff like quinoa and beans are very inexpensive. I found this. I hope it helps:
www.alternet.org/story/150404/8_cheap_ways_to_eat_vegan_%28you_don%27t_have_to_be_rich_to_eat_healthy%29
Also, I went to a store called Sprouts. It has all kinds of yummy vegan foods. Only one thing I bought wasn't vegan. Counting that, it was only $26.
RiggsBF That's because you are a psychopath.
animotionification of course I am against yout view if your view is that it is OK for millions of animals to suffer for no reason. I have every reason to put myself on a pedestal, my diet makes sure that no animals die and have a minimal effect on the climate. It is superior in every aspect, morally, economically, healthy and environment friendly.
where can i download these doco's from cant find them anywhere
All of this looks really interesting! I will definitely watch all of them(except the dolphin one, it look way too gruesome)
Holy shit don't watch the Ukraine serial killer 1 I seen video of them killing the fella it's some stomach turning shit
Aivottaja yes
Aivottaja :(
you're sick in the head if you'd rather watch the REAL footage of 3 kids killing a man than watch dolphins.
Walter Shmitty I disagree with you with the human life is above animal life. And I just said that the dolphin documentary looked violent, pluss I have already watched the one you're talking about before I made that comment so
Considering the subject it covers, The Bridge is a fascinating, respectful and upsetting film. Only one I've watched on this list but one worth checking out.
Into the Abyss and surviving BTK are very disturbing as well. You can check them out on Netflix.
I think the worst and heartbreaking is 'The Titticut Follies', about a mental hospital, and they way that the patients were tormented..
My dad made us watch faces of death as a kid. I still remember a bunch of it. I’m 30 now, I was 6
They weren't exaggerating Jesus Camp. I have been to one before when my friend invited me about 3 years after the documentary came out and the camp was not unlike what I saw in that film! It was absolute insanity.
Love the way he pronounces Staten Island :)
Well then.. I now know which movies to watch this weekend night
How is "The Hammer Maniacs" not number one?? That's the most disturbing of all mentioned. That case is one example of why the death penalty is necessary.
I'm shocked you didn't mention the Children Of Darkness documentary! It is the saddest documentary I've ever seen. It's about the way children with mental disabilities were inhumanly treated at mental institutions. They even completely restrained this poor guy for 7 years :( All he could do was move his head. He couldn't even go to the bathroom
I recommend The Bridge, Shoah, and Earthlings.
I was depressed and disturbed for a month after watching the bridge
‘The Bridge’ was difficult but also an important document. It’ll drive others to jump, but people jumping from great heights is not a new phenomenon. Cold War Kids did a song on the bridge, and Sleater-Kinney’s “Jumpers” clips from 2004 retells the story of female child’s last day on earth before visiting the bridge.
So many comments on this video about this guy mispronouncing names!!..........You guys, yeah, YOU guys must be real fun at parties!
ZOO it missing in this Top Ten, a doc about a group of people that practice Zoophilia and one guy who died because of this practice with horses, very raw and disturbing but made in great taste, no zoo scenes, just narrative and re-enactments. Its here in the tube, don't miss it.
just saw earthlings today... changed my appetite the entire day and maybe for the rest of the week. it's absolutely nothing like any animal factory farm film you've seen before, something everyone who eats meat or drinks milk should watch
It is REALLY good, that a film crew never got to document what happens with "child brides", brought to Saudi Arabia from Mali! There is a big "business", where poor families in Mali SELL their children girls to wealthy Saudi men, who drive them all the way to places like Riadh, and these poor children now are sex slaves to men! What is wrong with the world?!!
Ujuani68 Yeah - we had this problem with wealthy pedophile saudi bastards buying trafficked children from India - it took a lot to stop it and it's still an ongoing effort. But no one will make a documentary about the Saudi's evil deeds since they're powerful countries close ally and a major oil producer. Typical.
+Mirrorwarrior The ONLY reason why these psychos are Allies in ANY way, is because of their stupid oil! We need toget free of depending on them,they are a disgrace to humanity.
Thank you for the list. The 3 guys 1 hammer should have been number one. Based on what everyone has told me, that would be the most disturbing movie to watch, period. Some even had stated that 3 guys 1 hammer would make movies like Human Centipede, Salo, A Serbian Film and Nekromantik be placed in the cartoon section of the video store. It's a bit of a exaggeration on the commenters statement, but they painted a good vivid picture how horrible those 3 individuals were. I'm not looking for that. I have enough turmoils in life as it is to deal with adding that level of disturbance to it.
I remember watching it when I was 8 from behind the shoulder of my sister and her boyfriend. I was 8 and I don't remember much from that age but I definitely remember that.
I've seen enough videos of people getting tortured and murdered by Mexican drug cartels, that a video like 3 guys 1 hammer is pretty average to me in terms of disturbing.
Earthlings was way heavier than the cove. If u start watching the cove finish watching it. Most people who watch earthlings turn it off during the first chapter....The one on the mistreatment of domesticated animals.
I'm surprised that the documentary ''Alive'' is not on the list.
I've started watching a lot of your videos lately, and i must say i really enjoy them and the content, however in several videos you absolutely mutilate the pronunciation of tons of names that are either quite famous or extremely easy to research the proper pronunciation. Would polish your videos up a bit if you worked on this. Cheers and keep up the good work.
watched 3 guys 1 hammer when i was 13 fucked me up for weeks, serious, i couldnt sleep properly, got extremely depressed and had to try my hardest not to think about it anymore but it just stayed in my head, gross man.
Okay that was a serious list covering real issues, so I feel sort of bad pointing out the documentary I watched a decade ago in high school about Japanese ear cleaning salons used by the rich of the society. There was this ear camera and little remote control tweezer used to extract ear wax. They showed a full serves ear cleaning from the ear level few and too this day I still have nightmares about that thing pulling ear wax crusts out of from that person's ears. It might not be disturbing in the way The Cover is, but still would be on my personal list of disturbing documentaries I watched and can never unwatch.
Some one should do a documentary about subway and elevated train suicides. I live in Chicago and live near a few train platforms that are know for there deaths and suicides .. I just saw one yesterday. Stopped service for hours.
Yeah, I won't be watching any of these...
Although it's disturbing at times, I'd recommend The Cove and Jesus Camp.
Markus Aurelious Try watching Earthlings. I definitely recommend it, in fact, if anyone ever asks, I'll mention it for sure.
I heard of the 'faces of death', but never wanted to see it. I get too many nightmares already.
