<strong>No (2012) </strong><strong>❤❤❤❤❤</strong><br />
It was very interesting to look at the process they came up with the campaign and to learn about a bit of the political climat at Chile at that time. Quite engaging. Oh a successful and creative campaign not only needs talented creatives, but also visionary clients!<br />

<strong>Call Me Kuchu (2012)</strong><strong>❤❤❤❤❤</strong><br />
Whenever I watched documentaries about minority groups or people who were treated with injustice, I never, never could understand why there are people out there bore so much hatred towards those who are different from them. (Well, in a way I do understand, but it always saddens me). This documentary was really well-made---addressed the issue, raised the awareness and engaged the audience. Great style.<br />
<br />
Many people still need to risk their lives so they can live without fear; and so many just take those rights for granted and live on with ignorance.<br />
<br />
Oh and I cried so much in this film. :<<br />

<strong>Virgin Tales (2012) </strong><strong>❤❤❤❤</strong><strong>❤</strong><br />
Very interesting to see their "stories".<br />

Evangelical Christians are calling out for a second sexual revolution: chastity. As a counter-movement of the attitudes and practices of today's culture, one in six girls in the US has vowed to remain 'unsoiled' until marriage. But the seven children of the Wilson family, founders of the Purity Ball, take this concept of purity of body and mind one step further; even their first kiss will be at the altar. For two years, the filmmakers follow the Wilson offspring as they prepare for their fairytale vision of romance and marriage and seek out their own prince and princess spouses. In the process, a broader theme emerges: how the religious right is grooming a young generation of virgins to embody an Evangelically-grounded Utopia in America. (IMDB)</div>

<strong>Carbon for Water (2011) </strong><strong>❤❤❤❤❤</strong><br />
This is a very short documentary proceeding another film "Into the Gyre". Both gave you something to think about.<br />

In Kenya's Western Province, most drinking water is contaminated. The wood many Kenyans use to boil this water to make it safe is increasingly valuable. Women and girls, who bear the responsibility for finding water and fuel, often miss school or work while seeking both fuel and water. Some even encounter sexual violence. Yet waterborne illness remains a daily--and life-threatening--reality for them and their families. Carbon For Water introduces audiences to the inspiring people who face these hardships, and explores one company's innovative solution for improving the health of millions of Kenyans and the environment in which they live.
