So yeah its been 3 months .College is just crazy. I've been collecting these reviews for a while. These aren't all the documentaries I've watched but a lot of them are repetitive with common themes such as murder. So here are a couple I found interesting.
The Queen
The Queen is a documentary about the 1967 Miss All-America Camp Beauty Contest and its contestants. It was a great example of LGBT history and also didn't have any commentary which was nice as you could form your own opinions and thoughts. I also enjoyed how it touches on the contestants' experiences with the military and the varied reactions from some of their families. If you are looking to educate yourself on drag culture this is a short, one hour doc on one section of its history.
Athlete A
Athlete A is a doc about the sexual abuse that went on at USA Gymnastics. It goes into detail about USA Gymnastics' sexual allegation policy and how many times they not only didn't report it to the police but also treated the athletes who spoke up. I wasn't following the case at the time and i was surprised that the Larry Nassar case was in 2015. The audience that would find this documentary interesting would be those who don't follow the sport and want to learn more about what these athletes sacrificed for a shot at the Olympics.
