a fun documentary about the northside southside rivalry in baseball the cubs and white sox fans as they get pumped for the big showdown at wrigley field and us cellular field when the cubs face off against the white sox
This Would be a Documentary about The Superman Curse it would have surviving actors and other stars who had involement with the Superman Movies to talk about the curse and if they think its real
This would be a documentary on the bisexual community. Gay and Lesbian people seem to get alot more sympathy from thinhs like Gay Straight Alliances and mamy help are targeted at directly homosexual people while people who are Bisexual are ridiculed as Sluts,Whores,Cheaters (Martial Wise). While Teens and Adults are insulted and Alienated from both the straight and gay community and youdon't see anyone focusing on them with a frigging support group. I beleive with a documentary like this, more people would be a lot less ignorant socially and mentally.
A fact-based fast-moving genealogical thriller.
An Irish genealogist (Ged) is commissioned to research the maternal Family Tree of an American client (Tom) thought to have Irish ancestral roots. The most intriguing aspect of the project is that Tom’s maternal grandfather was said to have walked out on the family and “disappeared”, i.e. he disappears from public record databases during the 1930’s. Tom was born in 1943 so he never met his grandfather, and he doesn’t even know his name because his now-deceased mother would never speak of him after the abandonment as a child. The grandfather’s name is discovered to be Merrill, born in the Midwest of the USA.
The film plot is made up of the interweaving of two true stories; the Irish researcher’s increasingly obsessive desire to find out what happened to Merrill, and longer flashback scenes which reveal the life of Merrill and his extended family members. The research story takes many twists and turns, and involves multiple alleged suicides, the existence of a family inheritance fund worth millions in today’s money, deliberate deceit as relatives try to access the family fortune …. and the unavoidable conclusion that criminal acts were carried out, culminating in more than one murder. Crimes which were never detected in the 1930’s, or more likely, never acknowledged by the authorities in receipt of hush money.
The Irish researcher works from a home office in a sleepy rural village, using state-of-the-art computer databases linked to worldwide vital records, newspaper archives, court files, etc. New snippets of information about Merrill’s life, revealed in sequence, lead Ged along a complex journey of discovery. Confusing data suddenly starts to make sense as more facts are uncovered. Sometimes Ged’s revelations are followed by a cut to a flashback sequence to expand upon developments. At other times, the flashback drama precedes Ged’s discoveries as the researcher plays catch-up. The viewer is deliberately drawn into the intrigue and mystery of Merrill’s eventual disappearance, trying to second-guess how the saga ends.
A secondary sub-plot revolves around the jovial interest in Merrill’s disappearance shown by Ged’s Irish village neighbors. As per most close-knit communities, word travels fast regarding Ged’s curious research project, and each offers ideas for possible “endings”. These amusing cameos counterbalance Ged’s growing and alarming obsession with Merrill, and the darkness of real life events unfolding and being acted out in Midwest America 75 years ago.
The story of the creation of the family fortune is explained as we view the lives of Merrill’s relatives from the prior generation. The key character who inherits the fortune is discovered to be an illegitimate child, and as an adult this person is committed to a mental asylum. Other relatives become guardians of the legally “insane” heir and attempt to rob the estate. Suspicious deaths of benefactors occur.
Tom is surprised to learn that his grandfather Merrill had two wives. By marrying his first wife, Merrill had a tangible claim to the insane heir’s family fortune - but so did other devious in-laws. Merrill was a once-successful businessman in the 1920’s, but he lost everything during the Great Depression. He was desperate for cash to fund a socially elite lifestyle he could no longer afford.
The backdrop to the flashback scenes are Midwest cities where mobsters ruled the roost during the Prohibition. The police and newspaper editors were on the payroll of The Mob. Business protection rackets prevailed, and outwardly respectable businessmen frequented the speakeasies.
Towards the end of the story, the tale takes an incredible twist when Ged, in desperation, researches the life of Merrill’s last known girlfriend. She graduated from small-town local government typist to end up as the highly-trusted PA to one of the most powerful Statesmen in the world, working in the White House. This secretary hid a big secret. Merrill had fathered her only child, and when she passed away (in very recent times), her obituary discloses that Merrill died in 1937, by reference to an alias name which Ged has already discovered was used by Merrill during the 1930‘s. She names the death location - yet the death was never registered as per civil law. Why? What happened? And who inherited the family millions?
The film exposes the most likely outcome based upon thorough research …. as The Mob and Merrill’s enemies closed in.

Sean Stennett was a profound person...Straight A student at his local college, working at the local cafe as a brista and a singer and song writer and wrote many heart felt poems.. Sean loved life he thought everything and everyone was beautiful inside and out. Sean Often gave words of wisdom he was very spiritual and helped out anyone in need. On December 2nd 2010 Sean has just gotten back from a bar in his home town of Saginaw Michigan. He decided to go over his friends house to play video games. His friend "Kat" Decided to go to he bathroom as she looked she saw shadows on the bathroom windows. She went to the front of the house and in minutes they heard a knock at the door "Kaye" decided to look out the front window. Sean pushed her away and said "you dont look outside at 3:30 in the morning" and as he pushed her 7 out of 8 bullets hit him. Sean laid there in his pool of blood and his last words were "Im going to miss this place" he was pronounced dead at the hospital. The city of Saginaw had its 4th homicide of the year to gun violence. No one could understand who could do this to such a profound person. Sean wasnt in any gang or wasnt in any kind of trouble. The next day over 200 people lined up for the "Sean memorial tattoo" it is a symbolic tattoo that know one knows what it really means but Sean and the artiest that did it. As the months passed in March 3 men were arrested one man had already killed 3 people and just had gotten out of jail. He had borrowed a gun from a friend and sold it to another person afterwards. These monsters killed 2 innocent people. I believe Sean left his print in Saginaw in many ways he watches over it and his wisdom still lives on...
This idea is based on the people who are out of work and have expired their 99 weeks of benefits.
either a documentary or a reality show. A real case of survival. I live in California and basing my data on CA. There are over 500,000 people out of work and past their 99 weeks of benefit. How are they coping ?, how are they making ends meet ?, put food on the table, searching for work, doing any kind of work to put food on the table ?. We could choose 5 individuals or 5 familes and see what it is like to live with them for 1 week or some time period. We listen to them about their life, we also listen to them on how the do manage, perhaps they have experiences which can be shared with others, who although may not be out of work, it's a very worthy cost saving idea. I think this type of reality show can show real human feelings we can relate. I myself am a 99er and this documentary/reality show idea, just may get me back to work !.
