Love, Scott (2018)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
The musician Scott Jones was cowardly attacked outside a nightclub. A clear crime and hate, of homophobia. As a result, the young man became paralyzed from the waist down and had to learn how to live again. In this emotional documentary directed and written by Laura Marie Wayne, making her debut behind the cameras, the audience is invited to enter Scott's life three years after the traumatic event and understand a little more about his new routine. Although the feature has a somewhat voyeuristic aspect that is a bit uncomfortable, it is interesting to show how a small and isolated event in someone's life can make the rest be put into a new and interesting perspective. Love, Scott.

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.
