Welcome to DFO

We are a website dedicated to reviewing, previewing and researching documentaries. We're not your ordinary run of the mill, serious film students here either.

We’re fanboys and fangirls, a group of people looking to kick ass and take names... and by that, we mean "watch documentaries and talk about how awesome they are." So, check the site out and tell your friends, life-partners, acquaintances, coworkers, professors, mailmen, garbage men… better yet, just tell everyone! If you like us enough, friend us on Facebook too!
