Pick your movie of the week: Documentaries! (Mar 18-24/18)

This is only the second movie of the week centering on documentaries, which feels so wrong. These are all ones I’ve seen and loved. Maybe you’ve seen one or more, but just in case, I’m including a brief description of each taken from IMDb. Which one piques your interest most?

Exit Through the Gift Shop(2010) The story of how an eccentric French shop-keeper and amateur film-maker attempted to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner.

The Act of Killing(2012) A documentary which challenges former Indonesian death-squad leaders to reenact their mass-killings in whichever cinematic genres they wish, including classic Hollywood crime scenarios and lavish musical numbers.

Blackfish (2013) A documentary following the controversial captivity of killer whales, and its dangers for both humans and whales.
