Is anyone watching The Final Year?
It is an account of the foreign policy team and the State Department staff inner workings in Obama's last year in office and it choked me up watching Obama and his staff. I saw it on Monday the 21st on HBO. I checked and there are multiple showings this week. HBO also has an upcoming documentary next Monday night on the life of John McCain. I don't mind saying that watching the previews choked me up, too.

ROBIN WILLIAMS: Come Inside My Mind (2018)
I watched the documentary of the life of Robin Williams - ROBIN WILLIAMS: Come Inside My Mind (2018) (on HBO) and it was worth it; I laughed so hard at times, I had tears in my eyes -
  - what a comedic genius he was. He will be missed. I highly recommend it.He really did process reality differently than you or I... Nanu, Nanu

Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story (2017)
On the Documentary Channel, I just finished watching BOMBSHELL: The Hedy Lamarr Story (2017). - Produced by Susan Sarandon. This most beautiful woman was a Hollywood star. However, it is entirely unknown that this woman also "invented" and "patented" something called "frequency hopping" for which she never got a cent!!!!!! Now worth approx. $30 billion (if I remember correctly, I hope, lol) and integrated into all cell phones, wi-fi, GPS, and Bluetooth, it was originally "stolen" (back in 1955) and used in bombers during the Vietnam war and earlier... absolutely amazing and fascinating story of her life - how the Hollywood sexist machine looked at her only as a sex object - so sad.
There is a trailer, but here I have decided on a YouTube video that more accurately describes a synopsis of this documentary, called The Brilliant Mind, wherein NewsHour Weekend's Megan Thompson spoke to Alexandra Dean, director of the film: Hedy Lamarr ... There is also an article in the Guardian, if you prefer to read the review: https://www.theguardian.com/film/201...susan-sarandon |

Diarist Anne Frank
I was browsing online today for an interesting movie-like documentary to watch and found an cinematic portrait of the life of Anne Frank, her parent's Edith and Otto Frank, and her sister Margot, and their small circle of family friends and helpers who stood by them during the Holocaust.
