The World Is Watching: Making the Hunger Games
A feature length, eight part documentary that covers everything from pre-production to adapting the source novel to casting to shooting to post and marketing. This is an amazing in-depth piece and it's notable how many women were involved in this production, from several Lionsgate executives to novelist Suzanne Collins herself. Jennifer Lawrence talks about her "hypocrisy" in not wanting to do a big budget blockbuster after having devoted herself to indies (despite X-Men, which she seems to discount somewhat). There's also a nice sequence on the strength and weight training the actors went through and the stunts that are so notable in the film, as well as having to dance around the violence implicit in the story due to the planned PG-13 rating the filmmakers were aiming for.

Instant Favorite.
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
