Netflix Suggestion

The Vice Guide to Travel

It's hard to describe.  One part History documentary, one part E!'s Wild On, one part The Onion.  Each episode is a generally tender, but entertaining, analysis of some areas of the globe that aren't well known in our American culture.  The Liberia documentary is simultaneously frightening and heartbreaking.  The first ep about black market arms sales might as well have been filmed by Hunter S. Thompson.

In my years of television and film consumption, I've never yearned so hard for the guy to get the girl at the end of From Poland With Love.  And this is a fucking documentary about some totally unrelated party & art scene.

I recommend the whole series, but at a bare minimum watch episodes 1, 5, 7, and 8.
