Sometimes you watch something and it makes you want to call your friends and tell them to watch it, too. These two documentaries are like that. Both important, very well made, honest and more than a little thought-provoking.
"Disclosure" is not just a look at the world of transgender people but a look at how they have been portrayed in the media. In the last couple of years we have read and seen so much about the trans world but not many of us really understand it or what transgender people must face. This documentary gives us a good look at that process; the interviews are straightforward and emotional and sometimes funny. It's meaningful and powerful and at the same time, very enjoyable to watch.
However, "Breaking Boundaries" is more intense and a bit frightening in its honest assessment of the planet Earth and the fight to mitigate climate change. Hosted by David Attenborough and scientist Johan Rockstrom, this presents what might be the last chance we have to save the vast destruction of so much of life on Earth. It is beautifully filmed and incredibly important in its clarity about what is happening now and the short span of time humans have to reverse the horrific effects of climate change.
Watch them both. You won't regret either one.
