This is an interview conducted with Dahmer and his father, before he was sentenced to death, where they dissect his actions, and try to understand the inner-workings of the murderer’s mind.

Nile Rodgers: The Hitmaker

No, Nile Rodgers isn’t some random bean who happened to ‘Get Lucky’ with Daft Punk a few years ago.. He is in fact an extremely accomplished musician who essentially invented disco music, and has composed the riff for every pop song from Britney to Bowie, Madonna to Duran Duran. This is an amazing feel good documentary, with compelling historical background, and a must watch for anyone into their music.
