Anyone ever seen the ESPN 30 for 30 series? Obviosuly its mostly about US sports but there are some fanstastic ones in that particular series. Finished watching one about Pablo and Andreas Escobar tonight there and it was superb. There is also a good one about South Africa winning the rugby world cup in 95 and also an excellent one on OJ Simpson in the day he was arrested.

The ESPN 30 for 30 series is excellent, especially the OJ Simspon one and Guru of Go

30 for 30 series is class. Where the hell are they online though? I can only find a few on youtube. I'm after one called 'The U' if any of you know where it is.

Brilliant. Seen it live in Dublin. Unreal.

Not one for name dropping, but I hung out with Kevin and his wife back stage after

Mobs Mheiriceá and Canada well worth a watch on TG4. Puts paid to the myth that the Irish in America were all cops ,priests or worked for the city.

Any history documentaries presented by Bettany Hughes are always worth a watch.

I've a buddy who would rent documentaries instead of a movie if he could. Eejit.

I watched that Food Inc. a few months back - left a bad taste in the mouth.

ESPN 30 for 30 - Once Brothers

Drazen Petrovic and Vlade Divac were two friends who grew up together sharing the common bond of basketball. Together, they lifted the Yugoslavian National team to unimaginable heights. After conquering Europe, they both went to America where they became the first two foreign players to attain NBA stardom. But with the fall of the Soviet Union on Christmas Day 1991, Yugoslavia split up. A war broke out between Petrovic's Croatia and Divac's Serbia. Long buried ethnic tensions surfaced. And these two men, once brothers, were now on opposite sides of a deadly civil war. As Petrovic and Divac continued to face each other on the basketball courts of the NBA, no words passed between the two. Then, on the fateful night of June 7, 1993, Drazen Petrovic was killed in an auto accident. "Once Brothers" will tell the gripping tale of these two men, how circumstances beyond their control tore apart their friendship, and whether Divac has ever come to terms with the death of a friend before they had a chance to reconcile.
