Documentaries

So I love documentaries. I enjoy watching them, the uneasy and often disturbing thoughts they create and the extensive internet research they usually make me do after watching them.

Me watching documentaries is normally dependent on mood, time of the year and probably also on some other unforeseeable factors such as the amount oranges harvested in Brazil that year (or something similar).
Anyways... I was watching quite a few documentaries again recently (no idea whether that means it was a good or bad year for oranges in Brazil) and I wanted to recommend two of them:


We Feed The World

WE FEED THE WORLD is a film about food and globalisation, fishermen and farmers, long-distance lorry drivers and high-powered corporate executives, the flow of goods and cash flow–a film about scarcity amid plenty. With its unforgettable images, the film provides insight into the production of our food and answers the question what world hunger has to do with us .

A Crude Awakening - The Oil Crash

OilCrash, produced and directed by award-winning European journalists and filmmakers Basil Gelpke and Ray McCormack, tells the story of how our civilization’s addiction to oil puts it on a collision course with geology. Compelling, intelligent, and highly entertaining, the film visits with the world’s top experts and comes to a startling, but logical conclusion – our industrial society, built on cheap and readily available oil, must be completely re-imagined and overhauled.

Both are very worrying and scary. I'd say they also provide a pretty neutral look at things and are no 'let's-create-panic'-material. Highly recommended.
