David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet
You may not know who David Attenborough is by name, but you've surely watched some movie narrated by him. After all, the British naturalist is one of the most present and respected names among documentaries about the environment and nature in general. It was he, by the way, who narrated films and series such as 'Our Planet', 'Planet Earth', 'Frozen Planet' and 'Blue Planet'. Now, the documentary 'David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet' seeks to go beyond the British as an invisible voice. In this exclusive Netflix film directed by the trio Keith Scholey, Jonathan Hughes and Alastair Fothergill, the viewer is invited to get to know more of his personality, thoughts and, mainly, look at the future of humanity. It's a unique opportunity to dive into the mind of one of the most omnipresent and respected figures in the naturalist world, giving a vision of how humanity can proceed from such a climate disaster that we live in.
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.
