The fact that no-one's listed this so far is a put-on, right?

Terry, you might also like Lemonade Detroit - http://bit.ly/tkNrs2. As a sponsor I got to view the first edit and it's shaping up to be just as good as Requiem was. The Detroit version is somewhat of a sequel to the first Lemonade the movie which is also pretty inspiring - http://bit.ly/utv1h0
What are the must-see art/design/technology documentaries?
I recently watched this piece on data visualisation. One for the infographic geeks:

The last doco i watched was Music Instinct which looks at music's effect on the brain. Very interesting.

Not sure if it's technically a doco, but I loved All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace by Adan Curtis, recently on SBS. He strings together events of modern history that seems so disperate including science, philosophy, economics and more into a really interesting narrative. It's a three part series.
