      No list of tear-inducing documentaries is complete without "Sex In A Cold Climate." It follows survivors of Ireland's Magdalene Asylums, and the abuse they endured there, working long hours for no pay, forcibly separated from their children, some being beaten and molested by nuns and priests. The idea that such places existed in our lifetime (the last asylum closed in 1996) is mind boggling, and these women still have not seen justice.

      I really suggest "Under Our Skin." It's a documentary that shows the struggle of Chronic Lyme disease patients and how so many people are going untreated. As a Chronic Lyme disease patient myself, I must say that everything being documented in this film is completely accurate. I would't say this unless I was absolutely confident. I know many documentaries tend to be biased, but this one says it like it is. I promise you won't be disappointed.

      "The Suicide Tourist" I cried ridiculously over. I thought it was a very brave, balanced, and interesting look at the choice to die, but I'd never actually watched a real person die that close up before and found it very difficult to see having followed this man's story throughout the film.

      I also HIGHLY recommend Whore's Glory. Incredibly well made, but progressively more heartbreaking with each section of the film.

      "Dream of a life", a movie about Joyce Carol Vincent, a Londoner. Better if you don't know the details until watching. Will stay with you for long after the film ends but is a very moving story and in David Sedaris' words, "was the best argument for the buddy system I had ever seen" (Although he was writing about someone else).

      I was really hoping to see At The Death House Door listed here, which is available on Netflix and for free on Vimeo. It follows a Texas death house chaplain who worked over 15 years ministering to men on death row, including some he believed to be innocent. Never wanting to burden his family with what he saw, he spoke his feelings into a tape recorder after every execution. He began his job as the kind of person many Americans are, that is, pro-death penalty. See for yourself if that changes.

      No list is complete of tear jerking documentaries without "The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off" Before he died he narrated his own story. Heartbreaking and wonderful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmahlc6n9_A

      I've seen #6 and #12. "My Flesh and Blood" was really good, but it was more disturbing than sad. I cried my goddamned eyes out of my skull during "Bulgaria's Abandoned Children." I had to watch a follow-up just to get through life.  Also, docus don't have to be sad or jarring. There is one called "Praying With Lior" about a Jewish boy with down syndrome that made me cry happy tears.

      You forgot Children of Beslan, about the Beslan school hostage crisis. If you do not weep when a little boy survivor talks about how he was waiting for Harry Potter to come save him... uuugh I can't even type that without tears.

      Highly reccomend watching Project Nim about an experiment raising a chimp like a human child. Also http://www.animalsaustralia.org/features/why-we-think-the-way-we-do-about-animals.php excellent talk about how we perceive different species.

      I started watch the Dying Rooms, it's about 'hospitals' in China where you can drop off ur babies (a, List all girls) and then they're left in rooms to die. I couldn't finish it because it was secretly filmed so you can actually see the starving babies, it's awful

      I recently watched "The Whale" which was simultaneously sad and uplifting. The fact that this whale was seeking the company of humans in very charming ways was such a beautiful example of interspecies connection, it was impossible not to be moved by this. However, what to do about this, given that the whale was approaching dangerous boats and potentially dangerous people, is a real puzzle. Should the whale be indulged the only interaction available to him in his lonely existence, or should we turn our backs on his loneliness to support his physical survival? There is no easy answer, but it does give viewers something to consider in how we regard our animal friends and their needs.

    "When it comes to education, it seems as though there are always interesting issues to discuss. Issues of inequality, teacher pay, and other hot button subjects are always being tackled. This happens in real life, of course, but it also happens in the movies. In some cases, a movie can make what goes on in real life more poignant. This is especially true if you are dealing with a documentary. If you are interested in movies about education, you can learn a lot from the messages you find in movies.

  • Democratic Schools are based on the basic assumption that students are curios and love to learn. The students on Democratic Schools have the right to decide how, when and what they want to learn. They have also a huge amount of rights to participate in the decision making process within the school. At many schools, e.g. the Sudbury Valley School, the students have the right to hire staff members and to manage the budget.In this film we will show Democratic Schools in Germany, the Netherlands, Israel, Puerto Rico and the USA.
