Ten Documentaries Everyone Should See (Slideshow + Videos)

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!

Thanks! Everyone should watch "Which Way Home". If you have a heart it will make you cry, and cry, and cry...but that's a good thing.

Looks like a great list. Too bad the audio cut out after 10 seconds.
