Certainly one of the most disturbing documentaries I've seen. Looks at the food industry and what their practices are like, and how these practices affect us as consumers.

This isn't a film I would recommend showing to young children if you want them to continue eating meat. Disturbing scenes of the treatment of animals in factory farms and slaughterhouses.

I found this film to be a game-changer. I tend to made much more careful choices about food than I did before I watched it. Having been an on-again/off-again vegetarian for years, it didn't seal the deal for me in that way, but it definitely made me a more considerate consumer. My father hasn't eaten chicken since he saw the film - and I imagine his reaction is similar to that of young children.

Here we have another somewhat political documentary that tackles one of the most promising transportation alternatives ever to come about: the electric car.

2005 documentary imdb academy award nominee politics cory booker

shared by chris murray on 20 Nov 11 - No Cached

chris murray on 20 Nov 11

This is a really great documentary about politics I saw a few years ago. You have the young, hard working, idealistic challenger against the corrupt long-time incumbent with a powerful political machine working for him. It is truly eye-opening to see just how corrupt the machine can still be. Although Booker loses this race, we still have a happy ending. Eventually Cory Booker becomes the next mayor of Newark, NJ and they post some of the best crime reduction statistics in the United States. The incumbent, Sharpe James, eventually is found guilty of fraud and sentences to 27 months in prison!

This is a review of the documentary Sound and Fury. It documents the struggles of a deaf family when their daughter wants a cochlear implant. This documentary has and will spark lots of debate and emotion.

I agree that it is a very good film about how the deaf community feels about cochlear implants. The follow-up film is also excellent.
