Vice

Vice is a documentary television series that explores a variety of groundbreaking stories around the world.  There are different hosts depending on the topic and segment, including the shows founder Shane Smith.  

Vice takes a unique and personal approach to political and cultural topics.  Rolling Stone wrote that it "feels a little like your buddy from the bar just happened to be wandering through eastern Afghanistan with a camera crew."  The audience can truly feel the raw emotion being captured on screen.  The topics range from child suicide bombers to the world's most dangerous drug, scopolamine.  Each episode is so enlightening, and honestly, incredibly risky.  The camera crews aren't always welcomed, and these men risk their lives in their attempt to show us what life is really like on the other side.   

Vice began as an HBO documentary series, but luckily is now available for free via YouTube.
