Suggest a Documentary - January

Thanks to all those that requested documentaries in last month's 'suggest a documentary' post. We had well over 50 requests, about 35% of which we were able to post links for.

Whilst a lot of the requests were for great films, exhaustive searching was unable to find them. These documentaries will, however, be searched for on a regular basis and will be posted as quality links are uncovered.

We are still getting a lot of people writing their requests on the chat box at the top of the page. Whilst I take note of these if I see them, you do run the risk of these being missed when the chat box is experiencing high usage.

It is a much better idea to post your reqests as comments to the monthly 'suggest a documentary' post.

We are looking forward to your reqests this month and have a lot of exciting things planned for Online Documentaries 4 U. We'll reveal more of the coming changes in future posts.

I highly recommend the documentary "Building Gods". It is about artificial intelligence, cybernetics and transhumanism in general. It is on googles video site. Thanks for the great site!

How about "Civilisation," by Kenneth Clark? Most, but not all, of the episodes are on Veoh.com or Guba.com.

Also, "In Search of the Trojan War," the show that made me the Homerophile (is this a word?) that I am today.

Hi All,

I recently saw a trailer for a National Geographic documentary called "journey to the edge of the universe". The trailer looked amazing but unfortunatly I was not able to tape the docu or watch it. I think it would fit in here perfect!
