Through Deaf Eyes. This is a really good documentary on Deaf culture.
I watched Forks Over Knives last year for the first time and I've watched it a few times since, so I'd say it's worth a go. If you are eating a Big Mac while watching this... don't eat a Big Mac while watching this.
Let's just call it food for thought.

Watched Bill Cunningham New York (2010) on Netflix. Docu about veteran New York photographer. I loved it! What a talented and precious man.
Watched Blondie's New York and the Making of Parallel Lines (2014) on Netflix. Interesting info about the songs and lyrics on the album. Would love to see a docu about the personal bios of the band members, especially Debbie Harry. She was so incredibly beautiful (and still looks amazing at 70 
).

Watched Malaysia 370: The Plane That Vanished (2014) on Netflix last night. Sad and terrifying.
I watched "Jesus Camp" on Netflix earlier this week. Fanatics are scary.
Yes they are.I watched "Jesus Camp" on Netflix earlier this week. Fanatics are scary.
I knew the woman who started that camp. My mom used to clean her house. She wasn't always the way she is now.I watched "Jesus Camp" on Netflix earlier this week. Fanatics are scary.
I wonder what takes people down the road to religious fanaticism. What happens to their minds that makes them believe that killing people is something God requires of them to be holy? Nobody is born a jihadi, at least I wouldn't imagine they are.I knew the woman who started that camp. My mom used to clean her house. She wasn't always the way she is now.
One day you are having a nice cup of tea with a lady and then the next thing you know, she's declaring war on you, burning down your house and salting your seeds.
I've got to find some nicer things to watch on Netflix.

Debbie Harry is 70? Oh Lord I'm getting old!
Has anyone watched the Marlon Brando doc on Showtime? It's interesting. I never knew he was so different. I thought he was just another hunk. There's some depth there. I love him even more. I would like to have known more about him, but he didn't like to share. God, he was some kind of handsome though. I'm so shallow sometimes.
Watched Soaked in Bleach (2015) on Netflix the other day. An entirely different view on the death of Kurt Cobain than in the docu Kurt & Courtney (1998) I watched several years ago! Part of me wishes they would re-open this case, take it outside of the local jurisdiction, and determine whether or not Courtney Love played a role in Cobain's death. That would be a huge drain of resources, though.
Watched The True Cost (2015) on Netflix yesterday. Docu about the fashion industry, "fast fashion," and sweatshops. Broke my heart. I will never look at consumerism the same way again.

That sounds like the same one who invited her over and served her left-overs for her birthday. I wonder how many of those TV preachers and people like the Reverend in Revival are truly believers (or just looking to cash in).I knew the woman who started that camp. My mom used to clean her house. She wasn't always the way she is now.
LOL - different woman. My mom doesn't interact with the Jesus Camp lady anymore.
Best of Enemies -- This documentary is on netflix now and is about Gore Vidal and Wm. Buckley, Jr. So interesting. I would very much like to know Stephen King's opinion about these men. And throw in Norman Mailer too. They were the "debaters" of that generation and wonder if any of the Garbage Trucks might touch on these guys and their debates.
One thing I like to do is to take my kindle into the kitchen with me when I cook. Sometimes I listen to music, but more often than not, I watch documentaries on Netflix. I have been watching the TED Talks things lately. The Chew on This series goes really well with cooking.

Watched Talhotblond (2009) on Netflix a few days ago. Tragic story about how people were horribly deceptive online and the repercussions were deadly. Very sad.
