A horrifying doco about the fags of NAMBLA.

I haven't seen it yet and I wouldn't call it obscure because it aired in HBO 2 years ago. I heard it's good and cults are always interesting.

Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God is a documentary about the life and death of Amy Carlson, the leader of Love Has Won. She believed that she was God, a 19-billion-year-old being, and a reincarnation of Jesus Christ, and that she could heal people with cancer "with the power of love". Her group has been described as a cult and Carlson as a cult leader by many, including ex-members and media outlets.

Black Metal Veins:

Pervert filmmaker Lucifer Valentine gathers a bunch of heroin addicted black metal musicians to film one of his filthy barely disguised pornos and decides it is more interesting to film them hanging out and doing drugs than making the movie. A very good look at the dregs of society.

We had a thread on them back before she died. Remember there were some raids on her livestreams way back then

There was one that came out a few years back and I wish I could remember the name of it. The plot is this girl is bron into a Mormon family, the family ends up under the spell of this Svengali type who kidnaps the 12 year girl, the family is more or less okay with it, but she is returned and the Svengali not only nails the mom but the dad. 40 years later the girl is still kind of okay with the whole thing despite knowing she really was groomed by the Svengali and her parents didn't protect her at all.

The Final Member (2012)
Trailer

The story of a man looking to add a human schlong to his penis museum collection. It sounds schlocky and terrible but it was actually a very well made documentary with far more twists and turns than I expected. I expected a kind of shock-doc but it turned out to just be interesting in its own right. Full documentary here

The Bridge (2006)
Trailer

A documentary that covers suicides at the Golden Gate bridge over the span of a year, including interviews with the family of those that died. Very somber, a bit macabre, but very interesting.
