In the best interest of your children, future generations and even your own, you should take a little bit of time to watch some movies. Not just any movies, but at least a couple which, in my opinion, should be mandatory viewing in all schools.
First off, I highly recommend watching
"An Inconvenient Truth". It presents facts about global warming that I'm fairly sure many have either not been aware of, or at least ignored for a long time. While it portrays the USA as one of the biggest polluters, you should still watch it and act even if you live elsewhere. Remember, by raising the bar and the average of what's acceptable, you're also forcing the bottom raters improve. So aside from watching it, make sure you also tell your friends to watch it and do whatever they can to raise awareness and help us preserve what we have.
Second, if you think you're living in a free society, you should definitely see
"America: Freedom to Fascism". Yes, it's mainly about the US, its economy and its government. But since the US is so important, on a global scale, non-Americans should watch this as well and try to spread awareness. And before someone tries to call me anti-American, I would like to state that I am PRO-American. I am pro-freedom, I am pro-privacy and pro-civil rights. All those things that have been getting more and more eroded lately.
Third, there's a couple of feature films I would recommend you to watch, which aren't documentaries but nevertheless quite enjoyable. If you have watched my previous recommendations, you'll also be able to make some connections between all these films.
So see
"Idiocracy" and have a few laughs. Then see
"V for Vendetta". While certainly extreme in their fictional presentation of our possible future, you'd still have to admit to them having some plausible, and scary, elements of truth in them.
Enjoy the show and don't forget to tell your friends!
