“Charm City” on Prime. It’s a doc about the hood in Baltimore. It’s brilliantly done, best doc I have watched in a good while, compelling subjects, gives a fair shake to all the subjects, and even has a twist towards the end.

I have trouble with docs sometimes, because so many end up laying bare some agenda the filmmaker wanted to highlight. This really appears to be one made of genuine curiosity. I might re-watch it fairly soon. If anyone has others which come from the perspective of real curiosity, please let me know. They seem in short supply amidst Michael Mooreish lefty crap and 2nd amendment/race/religion/whatever fear pieces, and most of the others which are just kinda cheap-feeling.
