Since many people are canceling their streaming services, I can recommend a new documentary series from NOVA PBS about the origin story of Homo sapiens. It includes several recent discoveries on the different human species, as well as the impact that climate change had on our evolution.

The first episode was aired yesterday and you can watch it for free thanks to public television 💚 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjH71hmrGGQ

More people ought to see this.

Keeping with the documentary theme, I'm watching the 2020 sequel to the excellent 2003 film The Corporation. Entitled The New Corporation: The Unfortunately Necessary Sequel, it explores the "corporation social responsibility" gambit and the normalisation of disaster capitalism.

If you can afford to pay to see it, please help the filmmakers fund future work. If you can't, magnet links for downloading it with BitTorrent can be found here;

I just finished the first episode of Can't Get You Out of My Head, a 2021 documentary series by Adam Curtis. Curtis is an intriguing filmmaker. The best of his work deep dives the political history of the 20th century in surprising and insightful ways; The Century of the Self (2002), The Power of Nightmares (2004), The Trap (2007), Bitter Lake (2015) and Hypernormalization (2017).

(1/3)

The Vimeo documentary on Yanis Varoufakis was pretty good. I've heard it critiqued for smacking of hero worship or the like but sometimes certain people have a particularly good point and giving them your full attention can serve YOU more than it does anything for them.

I'll even add some hashtags here to try to get more attention on this. #politics #documentary #movie #economics

I just watched a good 25 minute doco on the efforts to save the condor in Argentina. There’s only about a thousand of these gigantic birds left in Argentina and a band of dedicated conservationists are working hard to arrest the decline.

Recommended.

Now that we're awake anyway, check out the awesome work of Heal the Hauraki.

This episode is about the amazing people doing the mahi to restore ecosystems in Tīkapa Moana Hauraki Gulf Marine Park.

AKA some of the witches with green liquid that Shane Jones is so scared of.
I think it is quite positive, inspiring and uplifting.

In the face of rural decline, Yukio Iokibe’s documentary is a quiet tribute to how democracy endures — through personal conviction and human connection. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2025/07/20/film/noto-democracy-documentary/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #film #documentary #yukioiokibe #ishikawa #earthquakes #notopeninsula #depopulation
