Program description: Documentaries abound in our high-tech world, thanks to smaller cameras, smarter editing tools and inexpensive access to social media for promoting and distributing. This two-part series is an opportunity to discuss some of the current docs that dare us to shift our way of thinking or seeing.
The first session will feature a discussion of two easily accessible ones (available free via watchdocumentaries.com): The Social Dilemma and What the Health. Participants should watch these two prior to the discussion, and we will choose two more for the next session. Bring your enthusiasm, questions, comments and opinions; hopefully we will create a judgement-free zone and expand our intellectual horizons.
Program Leader: Lorrie Beauchamp
Lorrie Beauchamp is a researcher and writer who has lived in Sooke for the past five years. A long-time cinephile, she averages five movies and/or documentaries a week, and then annoys all her friends trying to discuss them. So she thought—why not make it a learning opportunity?
Number of sessions: 2
