I’ve been on a documentary kick big time lately. Thank goodness you can watch them online at netflix. Some I’ve really enjoyed are:

The Business of Being Born, Ricki Lake not only stars in it (a lot of her!) she produced it. I really liked it. Not one to watch around the kids if you don’t want them to see birthing nudity as it deals with homebirths and most show complete nudity. It raised a lot of good points and had some numbers that frankly surprised me, even though I’ve done some reading and studying up on the issue. Def one to share with others.

Born into Brothels. Wow, it was pretty sad throughout the whole thing but captivating at the same time. I was flabbergasted at how they lived and by how it was impacting the children. They all seemed to hate it but it was all they knew. Didn’t deal with the brothel part in so much as it was no huge nudity or sex thing. It was more in direct and about the kids. I’d watch it again.

The most recent one I watched was MORE than boring. I didn’t even watch the whole thing. Wisconsin Death Trip seemed, from the story line, to be pretty interesting. About a town where everyone goes nuts. I liked the old pictures and some of the stories but it skipped around a lot and had actors reenact some of them…badly. It’s not something I’d ever sit through again so I’ll def say pass it on by.

I plan to watch more while dh is gone. I’m loving the instant viewing!
