If you are a lover of the seventh art and a fan of nature documentaries, this list is for you. Oh, and all the films are on Netflix! Check out the list and press play:
1 – Catching the Sun
The documentary deals with the growth of solar energy in the world and is a source of inspiration for those who sympathize, are users or work with the energy source. Directed by Shalini Kantayya, the film has testimonies from the owner of a panel factory in China and workers from California who changed their lives by entering this market. The filmmaker and environmental activist seeks to find answers to questions about how to build a clean and renewable energy economy, from the perspective of the workers involved in this activity.
2 – Demain
Demain (or Tomorrow) shows that each of us can truly contribute to creating the future. The film has a positivist and optimistic tone, which asks: is presenting solutions and telling a positive story the best way to resolve the ecological, economic and social crises that our world is experiencing? Demain follows the journey of Cyril Dion, Mélanie Laurent and a team of four people across ten countries in search of what could cause the disappearance of Humanity and how to avoid this catastrophe by 2100. During the trip, Cyril Dion and Mélanie Laurent met pioneers who reinvented agriculture, energy, and economy, democracy and education.
3 – Minimalism
Minimalism is about the things that really matter to have a more purposeful life. Two childhood friends show in practice how they made the transition from “successful careers” to a more meaningful and happy life. The documentary interviews people who believe that material goods do not bring happiness, and addresses the question: is less more?
