This video is great. It also has fairly accurate Japanese subtitles, though it doesn't transcribe all the dialect things and rephrases a few unusual turns of speech throughout.
とりあえず、the content is amazing. The man in this video has incredible character. You're not likely to find native material this good again any time soon. Vice really outdid themselves with this one.

Very interesting, though I can't understand enough to comment on it...
Speaking of documentaries, does anyone know of some good ones about any of the sciences or history (if possible, historical advances in technology and the principals behind them, though that might be too specific)? They're some of my favorite things to watch in English, so I've been wanting to find some in Japanese. I don't even care that I won't understand most of it, since that's the kind of stuff I can watch over and over again.

Heh, 猫に小判...
Zgarbas, indeed, I was curious about the families as well. Still, hearing these two voices is incredible.
If you don't find this interesting, I have to assume it must be because you don't understand it well. The man taking care of the animals is a wealth of knowledge and of great Japanese, as well.
And sometimes Vice documentaries are bad and the interviewer is annoying, sure, but this is not one of those times, so... ?
