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.

Not aware about IMDB, but CuriosityStream has a 7 day free trial.

Not close to the same thing, but you can go to:

On similar lines, I watched the movie 'The big short', not a documentary. You may like this as well.

some very good documentaries on netflix:

1.Ask the Doctor - Health based doc. busts the common myths about latest trends. Can be easily put to use in your daily life. 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.

Recently watched "9/11: Control the Skies" on hotstar. It was okiesh. Not like great. One time watch.
It is about how the airport of Gander in Canada handled 200+ transatlantic flights when US air space closed off due to attacks on 9/11.

The rating piqued my interest and I watched the documentary last night. Thank you for recommending it so strongly. Totally agree with your comments and ratings. Have sent a flurry of messages to all family and friends to watch the documentary this weekend.

Thanks to Nagabhushan R S for sending this link in. Heartfelt gratitude for sharing it with other enthusiasts via this Team-BHP page!

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.

That Sugar Film - Available on Netflix
I guarantee after watching this documentary, you will naturally steer away from sugar.

Thanks for sharing this. I shall go over #1,2 and 3.
I have watched ForkOverKnives and its amazing!
My journey started almost a decade back when I was reading 'The China Study' later I watched Cowspiracy then ForkOverKnives, earthlings, and similar other documentaries.

Apart from ForkOverKnives, in the similar lines, I'd suggest watching following, most of them are there on Netflix.

Cowspiracy - for the sustainability oft he planet
Earthlings - more around ethical pov on animals/specism
What The Health
Rotten (2 seasons I guess)
The Milk System
The Game Changers (released a couple days back, a good one around whole food plant based approach)

[GrammarNazi]

Watched a documentary, "The Game Changers" on Netflix.

It really makes a very objectively derived compelling pitch why we must absolutely give ourselves a chance with the right kind of food that our bodies are designed for, a Vegetable based diet, as against a meat based diet.

I really do hope people watch it.

[deathwalkr]

Any suggestions about documentaries on Indian history?
