    2005 film I found on YouTube. Extremely good, a great untold WW2 story

    Watched this on Prime Video after I watched one of Mat Hames' other films, and this is a slow burn. Loved the soundtrack by Nathan Halpern and Chris Ruggiero. The documentary is about a young native journalist and a teenage arapaho girl who search for missing artifacts in Chicago's Field Museum with a Shoshone elder. Unlike other docs about native americans this one didn't linger in woke leftist dynamics that are cliche now. It feels like it addressing the issue fairly though. A very deep, real. authentic look at the reservation.

    Wow, this is a fantastic documentary. A deep dive into a niche subculture in San Francisco -- stand up comedians. Really illustrates how tough the grind is.

    I've enjoyed all the RTDocs that Mat Hames directed but this one was on a whole other level. We really get a deep and intimate look at a famous Cosplayer, her psychology, and understanding the events in her childhood that made her who she is. I thought I would find this boring and meant to only watch the first 5 minutes but 40 minutes later I was still watching, and mesmerized. You have to keep watching for a funny easter egg at the end. Bonus:Her parents are amazing and my favorite aspect was the exploration of her family life.
