Unbelievable doc that claims to show the reality behind reality TV and the slime balls responsible. Two TV comedy writers, Dave Roberts and Gil S. Ripley, pitch an idea for a reality TV show based on starving contestants to Kevin Blatt, the promoter of the Paris Hilton sex tape. Blatt tosses $100,000 at "American Cannibal," and they're off to a remote island near Puerto Rico with host George Gray, a ramshackle crew, some very desperate contestants, and plenty of bad karma. Weather, injuries, union conflicts, and zero planning on their parts end up halting the production. Some of the events were surely staged by the "documentarians," but that doesn't stop American Cannibal from being "devastatingly funny and scary" (Paper Magazine). Perry Grebin/Michael Nigro---USA---2006---91 mins.

Released from prison after the show wrapped, this documentary gave the real life Barksdale the opportunity to meet Wood Harris, the actor who played him onscreen. Together, they visit Baltimore haunts and Barksdale sets the record straight about his run-ins with gangs, drugs and murder.
