Thanks for the link Karen. The website has good list of top documentaries, and I will watch them.

Do you have the link for list of some more recommended documentaries?

Great post! I think the documentary film medium is one of the most powerful ways to access the truth, and to share that journey with a wide audience. I just watched Capitalism: A Love Story…pretty interesting. Yes, you’re right, some docs can be biased, but hopefully inspire the much needed critical skills we need in order to document our own lives. Since I’ve been on an extended TV strike, I’ve been hungry for stuff that wakes you up. Documentaries fit that bill!!

Good post, Bud. Couldn’t agree more. I saw a documentary recently: Expelled staring Ben Stein. Talk about expanding your understanding. He totally breaks through the barriers that scientists face today with evolution vs creation. I definitely recommend it!

Great post and idea!! Documentaries really can be a great way to learn more about the world around us and connect people on different issues. I particular like your point about empathy… I agree, we need real understanding and empathy among all peoples of the world… through education and understanding we can make a difference, even if just a small one. Thanks for the inspiration : )

Hey Bud

Awesome post! This is something I’m lacking at the moment. I love watching Discovery Channel, but don’t make a lot of time to watch it. Netflix seems like a good option, I’ll explore it later.

Then world is indeed so wasteful, the latest Time magazine here in South Africa has the cover story as “Rare Tuna” and addresses how we are overfishing our seas and killing off important species. I wish everyone would realize what we are doing to the world and work together to preserve it!

Have a great week!

Hey Bud,

You hit the spot when you said it is educational. I say this because for me, I can only learn something when I am entertained by it at the same time, which why I do mediocre at school ( school is no fun..:() lol jk.

Documentaries are a great way to teach us something new, they are non-fiction books presented on television. I love watching them, because I don’t get to feel guilty about wasting my time

Thanks for the post, keep it up

Steven, have an explosive day Bud!

@Bud
Really? You have a Filipino blood? Cool!

My favorite Filipino documentary is the GMA documentary about the Philippine ocean natural treasures. That made me feel that, even Philippines is a poor country, Philippines will always be a great country because of its beauty and natural resources.
