DocYOUmentary Series | Another 4 I love!

Vegucated
As a vegetarian, I felt it quite necessary to watch this documentary. I was immediately intrigued by the title. This documentary definitely pushes veganism more than vegetarianism, but it’s very informative about both. Even if you have no intention to ever stop eating meat, I’d still recommend this documentary because it’s just so important to know these facts about food itself, health, the food industry and the treatment of factory farm animals. It’s definitely one to watch!

Katy Perry: Part of Me

I’ve always loved Katy Perry, and if possible this documentary made me love her even more. It depicts her struggle to stardom, and the intense process of touring. Where it really got me though, was experiencing all of her emotions as her marriage fell apart. The cameras were there through it all. It felt VERY real, which is more than I can say for most celebrity documentaries. It’s also quite beautiful how she uses the songs from her album as the soundtrack to the documentary, with specific songs for different parts of her life. Even if you’re not a huge Katy fan, it’s still worth the watch!

I AM

This is an unbelievably cool documentary about life, and what we can all do to create positive vibes and a more happy life for everyone on earth. Without giving too much away, this documentary really delves into the more scientific approach to human emotion and empathy. That’s what’s really interesting about it. The director brings it all back to facts, and proves that it’s really up to us to change the world, by changing ourselves. If you need any sort of pick-me-up or restoration of faith in humanity, this one’s for you!

Blackfish

I wanted to visit the new Ripley’s Aquarium in Toronto before I watched this documentary. Then, my mind was changed forever. This documentary shows you what really happens behind the scenes of this industry and how terrible animals are treated. It also shows the audience how dangerous mistreated animals can be for humans. It demonstrates how incredibly special and beautiful these animals are, and why they should be left to live in their natural habitats. I encourage you to watch this documentary and be exposed to the horror of this industry so together we can do something to change it.
