Trailer
Why watch this film?
This documentary is the story of Christian Gibson and Chris Gooley, friends and founders of the Gobe brand of "creative tools with positive impact" for photographers. 'Pacífico' is an independent production that tells how their desire to travel and experience life in nature close up, became the inspiration to rethink their perspectives on life and truly connect with the world around them. With wonderful photography, this is the kind of documentary that inspires slowing down to, as they say, stop and smell the roses and learn to live consciously in the moment.

Documentary
What Jennifer Did
Netflix's true crime documentaries are as successful as they are predictable: a case is presented, something doesn't add up, a new revelation emerges, controversy or shock ensues. The same goes for What Jennifer Did, a documentary that delves into the controversial case of Jennifer Pan in Canada during 2010. If you remember it from the news, you already know what the story is about. And if not, you'll soon find out: the documentary follows the same true crime formula, so expect twists and surprises in the narrative.
The Antisocial Network: Memes to Mayhem
A documentary that explores how the internet has progressed from the promise of democratic knowledge and innocent entertainment to a breeding ground for misinformation and even violence that spills over into the real world. The Antisocial Network: Memes to Mayhem traces the path from the social network 4Chan and builds its genealogy up to Facebook and the events of January 6, 2021, in the United States. It doesn't present reflections that aren't obvious to those who have read books or watched other films about the impact of social media, but it's a good starting point to learn about how misinformation works on the internet.
Girls State
Directing duo Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss, known for the award-winning documentary Boys State, return now for Girls State. But it would be a mistake to say it's just a female version of the first documentary. Through a select group of girls participating in a federal government simulation in Missouri, this film reveals, firstly, how American politics operates. But secondly, and more importantly, it explores how an environment supposedly empowering girls can both propel and limit them at the same time, raising questions about what we understand about power and the ways to exercise it.
Earth Protectors
Documentaries about the climate crisis are never too many, but sometimes it can be challenging to find one that presents its arguments in a different and memorable way. Earth Protectors is a worthy attempt. Directed by French artist and environmental activist Anne de Carbuccia, it artistically documents her 10-year journey around the world exploring the impact of climate change in various countries, as well as the solutions undertaken to empower global citizens and address the crisis. At times, de Carbuccia and her works take more prominence than necessary, but she manages to present vital information.
