Amazing documentaries
If you happen to have a Netflix account and can watch videos online or if you're looking for a good movie to randomly rent, I highly recommend these two films:
"Waste Land" (Youtube trailer)
"Life in a Day"(Youtube trailer)
Kris is in town this week (so wonderful to have him here!!!) and we watched both of these films and they are mind-blowingly fantastic. The first one is about a Brazilian-born US artist who returns to Brazil and creates beautiful portraits of "pickers"; people who pick up recyclable materials from the largest landfill in the world, right outside of Rio de Janeiro. He gives them all of the proceeds from the artwork to help to change their lives. These peoples' daily lives before he comes along are beyond belief and inspiring.
For the second one, the directors/producers had an open call for any and all amateur and professional videos shot from around the world on the same day of the year. They then compiled a bunch of videos to create a peak into life on one day in all different parts of the world. It's gives you an unbelievable perspective on how fortunate we all are to be here and how similar we really are in our wants and needs.
Anyway, these two films have stayed with me since I watched them and I wanted to share a recommendation!
