Ten Documentaries Everyone Should See (slideshow + videos)
I’ve always loved documentaries, not just for their subject matter, but for their ability to completely open your eyes to something you may have never known before, generally in under 90 minutes. Any time I lecture, inevitably someone asks me if there are any films on environmental subjects that I would recommend. So I thought I’d post up a few trailers from my some of my favorites, in no particular order. Mind you, these are not all uplifting, but nonetheless, films that I think everyone should see for themselves. If nothing else, they will make you think.
The Real Dirt On Farmer John
A fantastic story about an idiosyncratic child of the sixties who inherits his fathers farm, almost destroys it, and then reinvents himself as an organic farmer–with flare!

Another one to see is Dive! (as in, dumpster diving). This film explores how much food we really waste, and helps you realize that when you waste food...you are wasting so much more.

I disagree about The Cove - I think it absolutely is an environmental film. And after watching the trailer, I very much want to see it.

Netflix, (subscription required unfortunately), has the following: Garbage Warrior; Who Killed the Electric Car?; King Corn; Food, Inc.; The Real Dirt on Farmer John.
You may add Dirt, the Movie and Fuel to your saved list. If enough people ask for it they will add it.
Thank you so much for this list. I am looking forward to watching these.
