Documentary fans are well served by these 11 great documentary series and features, currently available on Netflix UK...
In recent years, even months, Netflix has upped its game. No longer just a site to instantly stream an old title you might have once picked up in Blockbuster, it's become a hub of quality new and original film and television and this is by no means limited to its vast selection of fiction.

With the scope of possibility in visual effects and the boundlessness of imagination there are very few places we cannot explore in fiction nowadays… that is unless we explore stories that are stranger than fiction. There is a tangible thirst for the real; the overwhelming response to recent Netflix documentary Making A Murderer in the news and social media, as just one example, exposes the desire for and...

There are several documentaries out there at the moment about the Nigerian film industry, movies clearly in awe of the money that Nollywood generates, the sheer volume of movies being made, the colorful characters who make up the landscape of what is the third movie industry in the world. And it’s great that these docs exist, because if there’s one thing the growing awareness of Nollywood has done it’s proven that there is a market for films in Africa, films made for and by Africans on their own terms. Finding Hillywood, Leah Warshawski and Christopher Towey’s documentary about the budding Rwandan film economy, proves the same point in a much different way. Unlike the distinct...

“It is known that they have great memory and even after many years they will always remember the human being who has tried to harm them” – Orca, 1977
Finally. The massive charade that Sea World has been carrying on for decades is exposed in the new documentary and official selection at Sundance, Blackfish. I have been railing for years about how wrong it is for killer whales to be kept, not only in captivity, but in glorified concrete bathtubs like the ones they are forced to live in at Sea World marine entertainment parks in Orlando, San Diego, and San Antonio. Finally. Anyone who has ever thought that this is an acceptable way to treat animals that were designed by nature to migrate thousands of miles in the open ocean and hunt for food can hear firsthand from experts, employees and trainers at Sea World.

Rwandan cinema (dubbed Hillywood - because Rwanda is known as the land of a thousand hills) is at the center of an upcoming new feature documentary from directors Leah Warshawski and Chris Towey, titled Finding Hillywood. We're probably all used to seeing the country via limited lenses, and rarely, if ever, get to know the land and its people from the people themselves. That there's a film festival in Rwanda that's now in its 8th year, is likely news to many outside of the country. Nollywood stories seem to dominate African cinema news, and with good reasons of course. It's one of the top 3 largest film-producing industries in the world, in terms of output,...
