Anyone here a fan of documentaries? It's one of my favorite genre of film. Documentaries serve an important rule in teaching almost anyone about a certain topic, but I feel documentaries strive in teaching the youth about important and controversial ideas.
If you have any good ones to suggest for myself and others, list them below.
Personal favorites (in no particular order):
-
A documentary on peer-to-peer bullying in schools across America.
-
This documentary follows the lives and careers of a collective group of Do-it-yourself artists and designers who inadvertently affected the art world.- Freakonomics
-
The story of how an eccentric French shop keeper and amateur film maker attempted to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner.
-
The history of the U.S. National Parks system, including the initial ideas which led to the world's first national parks and the expansion of the system over 150 years.
-
A documentary on Al Gore's campaign to make the issue of global warming a recognized problem worldwide.
-
A look at tightrope walker Philippe Petit's daring, but illegal, high-wire routine performed between New York City's World Trade Center's twin towers in 1974, what some consider, "the artistic crime of the century.
All available on Netflix Instant the last time I checked.
