    Docs That Rock - Ghostwatch

    It was a time before horror was an everyday reality but this iconic pseudo documentary shook the British Isles when it was first aired back in 1992. It caused terror but started a life long love of horror for 11 yr old Cherida and possibly brought a friendly poltergeist into Tracy's present day kitchen.  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

  8. American Factory

    02/09/2020

    American Factory

    American Factory is a 2019 OSCAR (TM) nominated documentary, directed by Bognar and Reichert. The "American" factory is situated in Dayton, Ohio and run by Chinese company Fayao. It's a tale of culture clash and labor politics but its use of music and humor makes this a remarkable piece of film making.   Docs That Rock would also like to congratulate Eimear Noone on becoming the first female conductor at the OSCARS(TM) tonight...not a composer as we mistakenly said :( ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
