Hi again everyone - I first dropped by a few weeks ago to ask about fictional and dramatized non-fiction films that are about or include members of the Canadian military. For a whole variety of reasons, I've decided to alter my methodology a bit and expand my range to include documentaries and reality TV.
Again, I'm looking at the 90s and 00s and the list below is what I've compiled. I realize that the category of documentary is rather large - that it can include any number of NFB or independent projects or CBC short-docs. For that reason, I'd appreciate it if anyone who wants to add to the list could let me know where it comes from and what sort of distribution it's gotten. (For obvious reasons, I think, I'm more interested in the sorts of productions that have aired multiple times or have made a larger cultural impact than I am in films that have gone virtually unseen. I would, however, also be interested to know what the folks on this site think are particularly good or bad docs.) I'm also especially interested in docs that were not released in the past 5 years - it's very easy to find tonnes of recent docs, but comparatively hard to locate info (much less locate the films themselves) if I look any further into the past.
And thanks a bunch in advance if anyone can help.
