Poll: Documentary of the Week
Here are the choices for this week's Documentary of the Week poll:
The Listening Project
Synopsis: Named Best Documentary at the Santa Cruz Film Festival, Dominic Howes and Joel Weber's intellectual trek through 14 countries attempts to uncover answers to the question, "What does the world think of the United States of America?" Individuals from all walks of life and myriad cultures freely express their stark opinions -- both complimentary and condemning -- of a nation that may not be loved by all, but leaves few lives untouched. Instant Netflix
Jiro Dreams of Sushi
Synopsis: This delectable documentary profiles sushi chef Jiro Ono, an 85-year-old master whose 10-seat, $300-a-plate restaurant is legendary among Tokyo foodies. Ono is also a father, whose sons struggle to live up to his legacy and make their own marks. Instant Netflix
Absent
Synopsis: Filmmaker Justin Hunt explores how the absence of a father inflicts a deep, lifelong wound on men and women in all walks of life, from Metallica's James Hetfield and champion boxer Johnny Tapia to homeless people and prostitutes. Instant Netflix
Carbon Nation
Synopsis: Bypassing politics and fingerpointing, this forward-thinking documentary zeroes in on enterprising individuals -- from a wind farmer to a solar-panel retrofitter -- who are devising business-minded ways to avert the looming climate crisis. The cross-country expedition yields encounters with Virgin Group CEO Richard Branson, Earth Day founder Denis Hayes and former CIA director James Woolsey, along with everyday pioneers in low-carbon living.

What in God's Name is a #DocClub?
I guess I should start with elaborating on what a Doc Club is. 1. Do you like to watch documentaries? 2. Do you ever want to talk about them with someone who actually might care? - If you answered yes to both, then welcome to the Doc Club.
I realized pretty early in my life that I wasn't much of a reader. And by that I mean. I hate reading. I was interested in a lot of different things and wanted to learn more but actually physically picking up a book to read was not an option. Every year I'd add the classic "Read more books" to my new years resolution list. 99% of the time I ended up just reading more magazines then marked that resolution off my list as a great success.
Documentaries are the perfect way for a lazy person to learn stuff without having to go through the horrible effort of turning pages and falling asleep on your kindle. I discovered these beautiful things while browsing around on Instant Netflix. I wish I could remember what my first documentary was and add in an emotionally cool story but no one really cares anyway.
My goal for this blog (once I actually figure out how to work it) is to have a "Documentary of the Week" every Monday and then blog about how much I either loathed it or loved it on the following Sunday or whenever I feel like it. Sound good? Cool.
This is already getting pretty lengthy and I probably would have stopped reading by now to go do something more important like online shopping.
So in conclusion, it's been real it's been fun but it ain't been real fun.
Toods dudes,
A fellow documentary addict
