Documentary Heaven; Soviet Cosmonauts. Documentary Heaven is a gold mine for all you doc junkies out there. The site provides links to quality streams, funded by donations and the kind of ads that don’t make you want to smash your laptop in a modern-day Clash reenactment.
Recent titles include: Japan’s Killer Quake, Secret History of the Credit Card, and a film onYuri Gagarin: Starman; this last in the spirit of the 50th anniversary of the first man in space.
