Is this like IMDB of documentary movies? Asking this before signing up because my expectation is only to view the movie ratings (but will download/watch where its free) & later don't want to end up disappointed. |

Highly recommend 'The Inside Job' about the 2008 financial crisis. It'll make you so frustrated and angry about how so many of these bankers got away with it. https://youtu.be/FzrBurlJUNk |

| The booming global tire market is worth billions - but this comes at a high price, both to humans and the environment. Over 50 million car tires are sold each year in Germany alone. But where does the natural rubber for them come from? The biggest producer of natural rubber for tires is Thailand. More than four million tonnes of rubber are harvested annually in plantations there. And demand is ever growing - because ever more tires are needed. But the labor conditions in Southeast Asia are harsh - with working days of up to 12 hours and very low wages. In addition, toxic herbicides banned in Europe are used to fight weeds on the plantations. After the harvest, the ‘white gold’ is sold to brokers, who, in turn, sell it on. German tire manufacturers, like Continental, for example, are keen to stress that they use "natural commodities conscientiously.” But many car drivers don’t give a second thought about where the rubber in their tires comes from - and why we don’t recycle used tires more effectively. -------------------------------------------------------------------- DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

Also links the food you eat to your mood. 2.The China Hustle - How bankers used China based companies to take investors to ride post the 2008 crisis 3.The C word - A must for everyone. Talks about cancer. How lifestyle and societal changes may help beat the disease. 4. Forks over Knives - A brilliant and a must watch. I implore every BHPian to watch it with entire family. Also comes as a book and a website. But video is the easiest to watch. Links how the processed foods has led to epidemic rates of obesity and diabetes. |
