Please note the corrections stated in class.

I will be posting some docs here, I will also play some in class. First off let's go with a video doc, before we advance into the world of radio (sound) docs. This one is excellent and represents a high standard. Watch and listen to it. It's riveting and presents the subject factually, unlike the more impressionistic, artistic method used in the Portrait:
Inside Japan's Nuclear Meltdown

As auditioned in class, the Studio 360 link includes photos and other stuff:

Studio 360 in Japan

BBC: Inside California's Porn Industry

Candy for you Toastgirl fans:

I have visited the cafe profiled in the Studio 360 doc several times, "The Lion," Tokyo, Japan.

No photos are allowed. But on my last visit I was really intent and managed to grab a few shots of the visually beautiful speaker system which is the focal point of this café.

The Lion, Tokyo

Patrons enter the wooden cathedral-like room (with balcony) and sit to listen, meditate, read…and be quiet. The seats are like pews. The point is, to listen. There is no chatting, unless a beverage is ordered. Sources are mostly vinyl.

The radio piece on The Lion from Studio 360 first turned me on to it:

I doubt a café of this nature could survive in NY or NJ; interesting cultural difference. Too bad, would be nice.

This is a great radio doc which was originally done in German. The version I had with a killer English narration is lost. This is a translation version which is OK. But the doc is still great.
