New platform offers largest database of documentaries on the Web
"Hi Cendrine. I'm a big fan of documentaries - as long as they aren't either all talking heads, or all about the trials of the crew while making the docu - i.e. no on-subject content, instead all we get are reasons why they couldn't complete the assignment because it rained too much, etc. (there're a lot of docu's like that - no footage of the giant cross-bow that it's supposed to be about, but lots of footage of feet walking in mud).

"I agree Yoni - I enjoyed it, but when I see math, tax, legal, or financial stuff, after a few moments all I hear is "Pop Goes The Weasel" in my head.
