Today I would like to talk about another great source of information, Documentaries. As of late I've been enamored by documentaries and PBS type shows. They seem to be a wealth of information that is well compiled but one must remember that the producers of these documentaries have an agenda too and that everything should be taken with a grain of salt. Remember that anything that sounds to good to be true probably is, although that doesn't mean one should get paranoid about these documentaries. Most contain lots of good information that is well backed with case studies and testimonials so enjoy and keep an open mind.
A few goods ones I've seen lately:
Food Inc - A documentary about the American food production system.
Planet Earth: The Future - A documentary about the world's various ecosystems and whats happening to them as a result of human societies.
Super Size Me - A documentary about the consumption of fast food and the devastating effects it has on ones health.
Some of the ones I'd like to take a look at in the future include:
WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low Price - A documentary about the effects that big business has on local communities and the economy.
Earthlings - "
a powerful and informative documentary about society’s treatment of animals."
Eyes of Nye - A science program starring Bill Nye but aimed at a more mature audience than Bill Nye the Science Guy, which is also still an awesome source of information.
