Great documentaries you don’t want to miss
Summary
Glenn Weldon and Ayesha Harris recommend five new documentaries worth your time. They discuss Ross McElwee's "Remake," John Wilson's "The History of Concrete," and Maya Anek Bedward's "Black Zombie," which explores the Haitian origins of the zombie myth. The episode also covers Sam Green's "The Oldest Person in the World" and Nick Davis's "You Had to Be There," a warm look at the 1972 Toronto "Godspell" cast that launched the careers of many SNL stars.
