İzlenmesi gereken 50 belgesel

The Guardian, günümüzün önde gelen 10 belgesel yönetmenine beşer tane favori belgeselini sormuş. Ortaya 50 filmlik "izlenmesi gereken belgeseller" listesi çıkıvermiş. 2000'lerdeki favori belgesellerimi saysam mutlaka koyacağım Bowling For Columbine, The Queen of Versailles, Grizzly Man, Man on Wire, Five Broken Cameras gibi filmleri burada bulmak güzel. Listeler birbirinden bağımsız da olsa ortaya çıkan toplam, klasiklerden modernlere kadar uzanan oldukça kapsayıcı ve derli toplu bir sonuç olmuş.
