Raised in a conservative home, Justin and Jordan were incredibly close as children. This bond carried over into adulthood. Unfortunately, the brothers’ time together would be cut short. Shortly after joining a small college basketball team in 2007, Jordan Robinson tragically succumbed to a rare form of cancer in 2008. From home videos to hundreds of interviews, Justin shows just how truly amazing a seemingly ordinary boy can be.

Amazon Empire: The Rise and Reign of Jeff Bezos https://watchdocumentaries.com/amazon-empire-the-rise-and-reign-of-jeff-bezos/ https://watchdocumentaries.com/amazon-empire-the-rise-and-reign-of-jeff-bezos/#comments Fri, 17 Apr 2020 23:00:00 +0000 https://watchdocumentaries.com/?p=3484 Amazon Empire: The Rise and Reign of Jeff Bezos takes a sobering look at the behemoth online retailer that has become too big to fail. The documentary pulls back the curtain on the questionable inner workings of Amazon and how the company deployed bellicose tactics to eliminate its competition. Amazon Empire lays bare how the retailer went from one of the largest online booksellers to becoming a one-stop online sales giant using an unheard-of cult-like allegiance to the customer is always right’ business model.

The film also examines how Amazon’s constant analysis of its customer’s buying habits is raising queries into privacy issues. What filmmakers convey is how Amazon has ingrained itself into the consumer psyche and the impact it’s had on other online and physical retailers. The PBS program utilizes interviews with company insider’s past and present to lend insight into Amazon’s daunting expansion of power.

Halston https://watchdocumentaries.com/halston/ https://watchdocumentaries.com/halston/#comments Sat, 26 Jan 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://watchdocumentaries.com/?p=4806 Halston explores the intriguing, perilous life of its subject, fashion icon Roy Halston Frowick, utilising a mixture of carefully researched facts and fictional framing to tell the story.

Director Frédéric Tcheng charts the designer’s early years as a milliner. Halston designed the famous pillbox hat that Jacqueline Kennedy wore to her husband’s inauguration. By the 1970s, he was the most revered designer in New York. His flowing, bias-cut clothes draped celebrities like Liza Minelli.

The documentary’s tone becomes darker as it enters the 1980s when the designer’s free-flowing aesthetic fell out of style. Halston lost control of his label’s vision with a much-derided 1982 partnership with JC Penney. Halston himself fell into ill health and eventually died from complications of AIDS.

One esoteric decision made by Tcheng is to present Halston’s story through a fictitious researcher examining his archives. The device gives the film a clear Citizen Kane vibe, exploring a great visionary swept up in the tide of history.

Admired and despised by countless people over the world, Putin has cut a remarkable swath into the course of modern history.

That Summer https://watchdocumentaries.com/that-summer/ https://watchdocumentaries.com/that-summer/#respond Thu, 31 Aug 2017 23:00:00 +0000 https://watchdocumentaries.com/?p=5138 A prequel of sorts to the cult-classic documentary Grey Gardens, That Summer centres on Peter Beard’s attempt to make a documentary in the summer of 1972 with Lee Radziwill, the sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, that would have explored their childhood and the history of East Hampton, New York.

Beard, an artist and photographer, reminisces throughout about the ill-fated project as That Summer introduces the protagonists of “Grey Gardens,” socialite Big Edie Beale, an aunt of Jacqueline Kennedy, and her daughter, Little Edie. They are not the only focus, though, with the film providing perception-shattering and intimate looks at Truman Capote, Andy Warhol, Aristotle Onassis, and Beard himself.

That Summer also functions as a postcard from the Hamptons of the past through archival film and photographs. Much of the source material from Beard’s own collection, with the eccentricities of the mega-rich on full display, especially from the Beales.

The Rise and Fall of John McAfee https://watchdocumentaries.com/the-rise-and-fall-of-john-mcafee/ https://watchdocumentaries.com/the-rise-and-fall-of-john-mcafee/#respond Thu, 11 May 2017 23:00:00 +0000 https://watchdocumentaries.com/?p=3183 Infamous entrepreneur John McAfee, the brains behind McAfee Antivirus software, is constantly on the run; first from lawsuits in the U.S. in 2009, then to avoid prosecution in the murder of Greg Faull, his neighbour in Belize who McAfee claims poisoned his dogs in 2012.

While on the run, he frequently s the media alleging Belize authorities set him up, whilst ABC journalist Matt Gutman chases the story, conducting multiple interviews along the way. The story ends with McAfee living a normal life as a married cybersecurity expert, still prone to conspiracy theories and the belief that people are still trying to kill him.

The Rise and Fall of John McAfee chronicles McAfee’s time as a fugitive avoiding arrest for murder, to his incarnation as a cybersecurity specialist living a normal life and insistence that people are after him.
