Black Art: In the Absence of Light
From acclaimed director Sam Pollard, 'Black Art: In the Absence of Light' celebrates the work of leading African-American artists who are still active today. Focusing on the exhibition "Two Centuries of Black American Art: 1750-1950", the first major museum survey on the subject, the director brings together fascinating stories behind more than 200 works of art by more than 63 important artists. An important production not only for African-American culture, but also for those who do not know the art of black artists in depth. The movie undoubtedly gives light to these professionals and their relevance in history. 'Black Art: In the Absence of Light' awakens a desire in the viewer to drop everything and go to the museum.

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.
