Trailer
Why watch this film?
Marilyn Monroe is a legend, whose life, controversial career and mysterious death are still synonymous with Hollywood's Golden Age. Even for those who have not seen any of her films, these are notorious facts. Naturally, there is a lot of controversy surrounding the name of the star of 'Some Like It Hot' and 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes'. So much so that it is a bit difficult to bring something new to this subject, which has been discussed for decades. Starting from this reasoning, 'The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes' does not contribute much beyond the recordings already mentioned in the title. For those familiar with the subject, these may be the attractions to watch this feature film that reconstructs events with rather crude dramatizations. The documentary rescues many already known information about the case, so it ends up working as an entry door to understand who was the myth Norma Jeane Mortenson.

Money Shot: The Pornhub Story
Adult entertainment, especially in the internet age, is a topic that inevitably becomes complicated when ethics, freedom of expression, commercial interests... and crime are mixed. And of course, no name is bigger in this industry than Pornhub, the site not only the biggest in its field, but on the entire internet. Money Shot: The Pornhub Story is a Netflix exclusive documentary that attempts to unravel this complicated web: on one side, the lack of legislation and protection for consensual sex work; on the other, the accusations that the site hosted illegal content and even facilitated sex trafficking, while executives looked the other way. These are too complex topics and the documentary fails to shed enough light on either of its two narratives, but at least manages to bring them to the table and present interesting arguments.
The Elephant Whisperers
An elephant calf becomes orphaned, and a couple from southern India dedicate themselves to caring for it. That is the simple premise of 'The Elephant Whisperers', a beautiful short documentary film exclusive to Netflix. However, in this simplicity lies a lot of beauty and strength in its brief duration, portraying the purity of animals and the power of their bonds with humans. After watching it, you too will feel compelled to dedicate your life to the protection of elephants.
