For All of My Readers that Love Documentaries--Vice's Guide to Travel

I'm learning of this half a decade after it originally aired, but I thought I'd share it now for anyone else who hasn't heard of it.

Vice made an 11 part documentary series in 2006 entitled "The Vice Guide to Travel", which details the exploits of several documentarians who travel through some of the most controversial, dangerous or otherwise offbeat locations. This included looking for mutated wolves and boars at Chernobyl, purchasing automatic weapons cheaply on the black market in Palestine, visiting the Boy Scouts of Beirut who are being trained to kill Jews, shedding some light on the origins of the vodka wars between Poland and Russia, hitting up a goth fetish party in a Polish castle and taking an inside look at places like Liberia and North Korea (the former famous for coked out child soldier cannibals, the later a frightening military dictatorship still officially run by a leader who has been dead for more than a decade).

If you watch this series you will find yourself both awestruck by the inspiring sights and cultures, and stupefied at how the world has not already imploded in on itself from the massive amount of undocumented nuclear weapons that are relatively easy to obtain for anyone with money.

Highly recommended. Either download it by torrent, stream it on Netflix or purchase the DVDs. You won't regret it.
