The Interrupters (2011)
Challenges in a Violent Neighbourhood
This documentary enables us to understand the problems, conflicts that are a day in day out situation in a neighborhood plagued by violence. Its quite moving to see ex felons and gang leaders working to prevent the youngsters making the same mistakes they did. Violence is like virus and it shows the struggle of few and their persistence to make a difference how ever small it might be. We get to see the trans-formative effect that the group is having on the youth. We get to see and feel the loss experienced by families and friends due to violence. This documentary does not provide answers but sure makes us think deeply about a critical issue. Life is not easy and fair, it teaches us the importance of forgiveness in order to live a peaceful life. An eye for an eye is only going to make the whole world blind.
The Untold History of the United States (2012)
Probably The Best History Documentary Series
I came across this series while browsing for documentaries in the IMDb suggestion list. I have postponed watching it for a long time as I thought History related documentary series will be mostly boring, but form the moment I started to watch the first episode I got hooked. This documentary series could change your perception of the world-view. This series is both educational and shocking at the same time which makes it a must watch.
The facts presented in the documentary are debatable but viewers get an alternative perspective. It covers most of the topics in enough depth to give us a broad picture. For those who want more details, this series is based on the book written by Oliver Stone. I have not read it but plan to read it soon.
