NO END IN SIGHT was the first film I saw after I returned from my Iraq deployment in December 2006. The film was eye opening, extremely infuriating and made me fall in love with documentary films ever since then.
Other recommendations:
Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief: I had no idea what scientology was about before I saw this film and I hope I never meet anyone from that organization! Just hearing the crazy stories told by former members is a real mind trip. Despite this newfound knowledge, I still enjoy watching Tom Cruise and his movies, heh.
Food, Inc. and The Cove both deal with the gross mistreatment of animals and both are very hard to watch. I’ve only seen these films once but they leave a powerful, long lasting impression of despair and disgust towards the factory farm industry.
The Fog of War (US SECDEF McNamara interview), The Unknown Knowns (SECDEF Rumsfeld interview) and the Invisible War (rape culture within US military).
Most of these fill me with anger after watching them haha but they’re all very informative. What are your favorite documentaries? And can you recommend me some feel good docs to counter balance my rage-inducing list?
