Re: Documentaries about good people
Beautiful suggestions, thank you (except for The United States of Amnesia which took a political turn there). Exactly what I was looking for, I wouldn't have found them on my own.
Re: Documentaries about good people
Great! Glad I could help. I suggested Amnesia because it's more about Gore Vidal the man and focuses on his writing somewhat but doesn't dwell on his politics. I can see why you'd avoid it though if you're looking for that escape. Enjoy the others though!

Re: Documentaries about good people
Might be a bit more along the lines of inspirational than good but Little Dieter Needs to Fly is one of my favourite documentaries. If you're looking to restore faith in the human spirit it should be just the ticket!
