Netflix selection 20190728

I regularly browse Netflix in search of content that I might watch, one day.

My preference goes for documentaries. These days, I loathe most fiction, including “Strangers Things” and “Black Mirror”, which I once adored, but that now fail to capture my aw, due to lack of originality, lack of credibility, vulgar acting, etc.

I am convinced that most, if not all, of the following documentaries will be time well invested into learning history, having contact with alternative perspectives, and/or knowing formidable people.

At the end the post, there is a sequence of snapshots taken from each program’s Netflix page. Whenever possible, I have also included hyperlinks to the program’s Netflix page and to the corresponding IMDB file, but not all content is on IMDB.

Women at War 1914-1918
“Trace the overlapping journeys of exceptional women swept up in World War I and hear their tales of bravery on history’s front lines.”
https://www.netflix.com/watch/80230465

Women at War 1939-1945
“Mothers, nurses, soldiers and deportees — these women fought against persecution for freedom and survival amid the turbulence of World War II.”
https://www.netflix.com/watch/80230555

Unrest
“In this heart-wrenching documentary, a 28-year-old Ph.D. student turns the camera on herself to capture her struggles with chronic fatigue syndrome.”
