 “Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.”  ― Mark Twain

American-Serial-Killers

Whether in print or on film, the examination into the darkest aspects of the human experience has fascinated scribes, scholars, scientists and the general public for centuries on end… This site has been established to facilitate in the discovery of free, full-length documentaries that deal with this dark reality of man…  and sometimes, woman.

BUILDING THE SITE

 …………………………………………………………………………

I first landed online, in the winter of 1999, when the Internet was still young, content was mostly text-based and download speeds were migraine-inducing at the best of times.

As the web grew in popularity and streaming video technology started to evolve and gain traction, the emergence of full-length documentaries started to fill the online video landscape of the time – Google Video, Veoh, Stage6 and a few others that I can’t honestly remember any more.

Eventually, Youtube unlocked their original 10 minute limit on video uploads, and that unleashed an upload avalanche that hasn’t slowed down yet.

People from all over the world were learning how to digitize all their dusty, VHS copies of rare documentaries, uploading them to various servers and for a documentary junkie like myself, the Internet suddenly became a wonderland of discovery.

I was hooked.

I would spend countless hours, finding, watching, downloading and marvelling at the immense collection of documentaries that I had stored on my hard-drives. The subject matter of the documentaries was eclectic, to say the least, but I quickly realized that I was slowly amassing a pretty large collection of ‘crime-related’ documentaries.

I thought that it would be awesome if a website existed that focused mainly on the darker side of the subject-matter pool of documentaries and organized all the videos links in one, convenient place.

Well, after I was abruptly fired one day by my micro-managing, hyper-sensitive, pimply-faced manager, I suddenly had the time available to build  it myself  🙂

One thing I always hated as a web developer, was how quickly some webmasters were willing to destroy the basic usability of their own websites by plastering ads all over the place.

Any ad or pop-up advert window that you might come across while watching a documentary on www.darkdocumentaries.com, does NOT originate from this site. Some video hosting sites have ads included in their video embed codes and that is what you might see when you click to play a certain video.

Just Install AD BLOCK Plus for your browser of choice to eliminate this nuisance.
