You should check this documentary "Chickenhawk" on the NAMBLA, from 1994.

Members of the controversial group NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association) discuss why their organization supports "boys and men who have or desire engagements in sexual or emotional relationships."

Fun trivia, it was distributed by Stranger Than Fiction, Todd Philipps' company, who directed GG Allin : Hated In The Nation and would direct Hungover or more recently Joker

Watched Animal Passions (2004) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pl9DdB75d2E the other day after seeing an article/post somewhere that mentioned it in regards to another one I had seen on the same subject years ago which is also worth seeing - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0874423/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_12.

Focus of Animal Passions is mainly on a small group of "animal lovers" in the rural US - some interesting interviews concerning sexual encounters with pets. One guy that married his pony is the main focus.

Always gives me the creeps whenever I'm in need of some depravity to shake up my dull existence!

Everybody here should watch this. It's legitimately truly eye-opening, and I can't say that about many things.

Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist (1997, dir. Kirby Dick)

"In the film, Flanagan explains his use of BDSM for sexual gratification and also as a therapeutic device to take control over his body from cystic fibrosis. He discusses his conceptual, performance, and video art, which often relates to pain, illness, medicine, and sexuality."

Flanagan was quite the exhibitionist, a devastatingly compelling figure. He performed in the Nine Inch Nails video for "Happiness In Slavery."

Thanks for the share. I have been thinking of this gem and need to see it again. Classic docu.

[Eigen Bast]

hah, I watched that doc in middle school with my raver buds. Thanks for bringing that back! Happiness in Slavery video is incredible if you haven't seen it.

I really, really enjoyed the Enslaved "Heimvegen" docu series so far. In my opinion, that's how something like this should be made.
It's #7 out of 12 at the moment.

Here's the link to the first one, just go on from there, if you're interested:

Sanpa : Limited series doc on Netflix about a rehab community in Italy and its controversial founder. Started with just a few, developed into a village hosting thousands, having a lot of support ... and funds. - Very good, i watched it in just two days. A lot of footage, and although i dont know the story i feel it's a 'fair' , balanced doc that let viewer decide for himself what to think, to form his own opinion.

Personaly i believe that 2-3 deaths [murders or 'suicides' i mean] only in many years with hundreds of addicts live and work together is an achievement, and not something they had to apologize for. Neither the harsh methods used and strict discipline annoys me much. What really annoys me is the saviour mentality, either that is plain "I will save you" or the more 'elegant' I will help you to save yourself. Not even doctors / surgeons have that mentality. - But I generaly dislike rehab communities, -both old-school 'arbeit macht frei' model and modern psychotherapy-based ones. Either them have saviour mentality or are just businness, it doesnt matter- , group-therapy, psychology related and all that shit ...
I think more appropriate is a medical , no-drama approach. Just reduce the addict to a reasonable but satisfying daily dose-s -heroin or substitute- and provide it to him to use in controlled enviroment, for lifetime if neccesary. Also have a person available if he wants to speak or ask for guidance.

I thought this was worth watching for its general insight into Italy in the 80's as well. Nice alternative to all the Poliziotteschi I keep watching. With regards to treatment of drug addicts - having worked with both voluntary options, and later years in mental institutions as well.. I'm skeptical of using force in treatment of addiction. If you don't wanna stop, you're not gonna stop.. And communes such as this always seems to degenerate into cults anyway.

regarding the Mucciolis and Sanpa, they were crooks and cunts. Surely they did excellent things and saved many kids, but they were a money making machine that used unorthodox methods and still work with this way of brainwashing kids workin a lot on the sense of guilt.

I worked for a social trust about 20 years ago and we had to interact with them in several occasions and they were scary to say the last.

Said this, killer documentary, shows very well how Italy was damaged by heroin and how it touched all areas of society, including political extremism.

I would mention here the new, amazing docu-serie "Rohwedder", that you can watch on Netflix. As the name suggests, the 4-episodes based documentation explains deeply the murder of Detlev K. Rohwedder, ex Treuhand chief murdered under mysterious circumstances in 1990. The documentation offers a lot of interesting witness from reporters, politicians and other personalities who took part to the case, everything enriched with beautiful video segments from the time and magistral editing.
