The Bridge

This film documents one of the most famous bridges over the span of a year.  The Golden Gate bridge is not only the most popular places to jump from in America, but in the world.  People have been known to fly there from all over the world simply to jump.  At 245 feet from the water the impact occurs at 76 mph.

This film certainly is a bit macabre, but it isn't just a sequence of watching people fall for four seconds at a time.  They explore the individuals that jump, their past, their friends and family, and their life.

I Have Never Forgotten You

If I was any less manly I would have probably cried like an average man during this film.  There really isn't anything else to say I don't think.  This man, Simon, in a very real way gave his life to serving justice when everyone around him had already bored of it's pursuit.  His life to me was beautiful in a rare and spectacular way.

Stranded: I've come from a plane that crashed in the mountains

This film is one of the most impactful I've ever seen.  With one of the worst titles.  The individuals stories are so compelling to me.  I can't explain it.

The reviews?  The preview?  Netflix.

The Road to Guantanamo

This film isn't what I'd call shocking.  I think we as humans are past the point of being shocked, but it is sad, and if you have lived the ideal life of only seeing war from the comfort of your couch, well...this will continue that fortune I suppose.  It certainly is one sided, but if you live in the majority of places on Earth, then chances are you've already heard the other side and I expect that side has worlds more bs in it than this side does.

If foul language offends you, you should watch this anyways.

The reviews?  The preview?  On Netflix.

Food, Inc.

First off: don't watch this.  It will ruin you.  Second: as an eating human, you have to watch this.  Third: whatever you do, don't watch this while eating.

I think this is well done, I have no reason to question the accuracy of it, besides my being skeptical, but even if it is a little off one way or the other I think it's worth a watch, and personally I think it's worth a second watch.
