I was interested in the effects of advertising on children and happened upon this documentary. "Consuming Kids throws desperately needed light on the practices of relentless multi-billion dollar marketing machine that now sells kids and their parents everything from junk food and violent video games to bogus educational products and the family car."
Great resources for streaming free content -- free online documentaries. The current most recent addition an excellent reinterpretation of Freud's "Hysterical Girl." #metoo
The Town That Was is a documentary film of Centralia, Pennsylvania, a once thriving mining town until 1962 when the ming caught fire and continued burning until the mid 1980s.
I thought this was a great documentary. They talk about the governments lack of help with the town's mine fire. Instead of the fire being put out soon, it lasted for many, many years destroying the town in the meantime.
My personal comments: Watchers beware! I stopped eating meat for 8 months after watching this. I started eating meat again after getting pneumonia and getting too weak. Now I try diligently to KNOW WHERE MY MEAT COMES FROM!
