There’s not much to suggest really, quite a small category.
I was going to suggest The Two Killings of Sam Cooke but I watched the trailer and it looked not good so 
I think it looks promising, so I’ll nominate it! Also The Devil at the Crossroads (about Robert Johnson), could someone please make sure real quick that it’s on UK Netflix as well? I’ll check out the youtube suggestions for availability and then post the poll.
yep! i thought about going for that one too. it’s quite short though.
As @japes says, it is pretty short. Maybe if it was selected it could be a double bill with something else short.
The Sam Cooke one is only an hour and a quarter or something too.

The Nixon/Johnny Cash one and the Miami Showband ones on Netflix are good. Miami Showband story’s a heartbreaker tbf

Vote away! Poll closes at 6pm tomorrow, and at 8pm we watch the film with the most votes. If you want to be part of the DM live chat thread (highly recommended), please drop your name in the second poll.
Please note that because we’ve branched out to Youtube for this one, I have excluded films that are not on my foreign Netflix for this one. I have also included an option for a double bill of The Devil at the Crossroads and The Two Killings of Sam Cooke, as they are both quite short.

You know this is now on the extras disc of the Criterion ‘When We Were Kings’ blu-ray? Pretty sweet ‘special feature’!

Well, I guess that was pretty on-point for the film club in terms of mood. Not a very chatty film though.

i always struggle to appraise documentaries. find it difficult to separate the film from the subject, especially if it’s something i’m not familiar with.
enjoyed that though.

Same and same
Thought they’d done a good job of having several quite different interview objects, each one giving another dimension to what someone else was saying. Still wish they’d toned down the husband a bit though, maybe just included a line or two and then let others tell the rest.
Very powerful testimonies from her daughter, obviously, and would have been a completely different film without her.
what happened, miss simone?
