Plan B Forum

I’ve been feeling poorly for the last couple of weeks, more time in bed than out. The only upside to bad spells is that I have more time to dial up videos, and I’ve just stumbled on two that I really wanted to recommend. They are both inspirational documentaries about people overcoming tragedy or physical disability and achieving amazing things.

Dealt, on Hulu:





Alison, on Amazon Prime:





Both really excellent examples of documentary filmmaking, beyond being really incredible stories. I highly recommend them to fill a spare hour+.

I’ve been watching Wild Wild Country on Netflix. I’m amazed that story has left our collective conscious.

Billed as a "card mechanic."

I remember the blow by blow on this one. Amazing story, but kind of like the OJ stories that came out -- if you lived through them, you don't really want to relive them no matter how well the retelling is done. For everyone else, though, there is a lot to be gained.
