No, but that looks good.

Here's the documentary I was talking about. It was on The Documentary Channel a week or so ago:

"Ron Haviv: Freelance in a World at Risk"

World Press Award winner and one of the youngest freelance photographers, Ron Haviv is among the most intelligent and dynamic war photographers today. In a career that spans only eight years, Ron has photographed world events such as the near civil war in Moscow, which culminated with Yeltsin's forces recapturing the Russian Parliament; the conflict in the Former Yugoslavia; the Gulf War; the invasion of Panama; the military action in Haiti; and the famines in Somalia and Rwanda.

And 2, 3, 5 and 6 should be nowhere near a list of great documentaries. In fact I could easily argue that Bowling for Columbine isn't even a documentary at all.

Bowling for Columbine (2002)
Genre: Documentary
