De verdomd interessante documentaires van VICE laten je uithoeken van de wereld zien waarvan je niet wist dat ze bestonden. De obscure situaties waarin de verslaggevers zich wurmen om jouw een perspectief te geven over subculturen en problematiek in de wereld is bewonderenswaardig. De fascinerende documentaires zijn in totaal op Youtube meer dan 1.8 miljard keer bekeken!
De meeste documentaires uit deze onderstaande lijst zijn een tikkeltje verontrustend en wellicht niet geschikt voor mensen met een zwakke maag. De docu’s zijn zonder twijfel een beetje vreemd, maar wel erg leerzaam! Mijn favoriet uit deze lijst is die van de giganten uit IJsland. Dat zijn nog eens echte mannen!

After meeting only a few people with firsthand experience, the story took a far darker turn than we ever could have imagined.”
