The Oscars have got us in the mood for a movie, so we present the Zuckerberg Media team’s list of documentaries you can watch online today:
Life In A Day: I love this captivating documentary because it is the product of thousands of videos uploaded to YouTube from around the world, by ordinary people capturing a simple moment from a day in their lives. Watch it to be both humbled and amazed by the beauty of a single day on earth. –Ashmi
The Queen of Versailles: This doc captures the meltdown of one of America’s wealthiest families during the height of the financial crisis – including the loss of their new home, the most expensive in America. It’s all the crazy of “Real Housewives” but there’s no produced drama here, it’s all real. –Bradley
180º South: This documentary captures the epic journey by a young surfer and climber, as he retraces the steps of his heroes during their trip to Patagonia, Chile back in 1968. It is an exciting film to watch and makes you wish you could be so bold to go on your own journey, following the footsteps of your own personal heroes. There is a lot of exciting adventure and great dialogue. –Nate
Forks Over Knives: This doc examines the profound claim that most, if not all of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled and reversed by changing the way we eat; specifically the relationship between dairy and meat in ones diet. It was such an eye opener- and really thought provoking. –Holly
The Elephant In The Living Room: This incredibly emotional documentary looks at the legalized underground of the exotic animal trade in Ohio. You will fall in love with these precious big cats and struggle throughout the film to understand why this world exists. Don’t let the title fool you, as the film has nothing to do with elephants. Grab your tissues and explore this world, close up and very personal. –Erin
Jiro Dreams of Sushi: I originally decided to watch this documentary because my good friends, Chris Kelly and Jennifer Carrico, are producers. I was so wowed by the documentary, the beautiful imagery of the sushi, and the incredible storytelling, that it inspired me to take a trip to Tokyo, just so we could dine at Jiro in real life! Now that’s an impactful documentary! –Randi
And a bonus:
How to Die In Oregon: This film takes you into the world of families who choose to exercise their rights and explore the option of assisted suicide to end their pain and suffering. This is a very controversial topic and the opportunity to end your life is only available, legally in a few states, including Oregon. It tugs on your moral heart strings and leaves you wondering what you would do. Grab your tissues for this one.
