THE YES MEN FIX THE WORLD Documentary Trailer

Check out the trailer for THE YES MEN FIX THE WORLD written, directed and produced by Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno.
The Yes Men Fix The World Synopsis: A wickedly fun skewering of corporate greed, THE YES MEN FIX THE WORLD is the true story of two conscientious mischief-makers who pose as the representatives of companies they despise. In this wonderfully therapeutic film, Yes Men Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno impose cosmic (and comic) justice by any means necessary.

WAITING FOR SUPERMAN - Sundance Documentary Review

WAITING FOR SUPERMAN, directed by Davis Guggenheim (who also directed the documentary The First Year), provides a deep dive into the U.S. public-education system and presents a deeply disturbing image of the state of the education in America.
In Waiting for Superman, Guggenheim goes behind the education statistics and focuses on the people behind them. He profiles teachers, principals, school board supervisors, families and students in an attempt to uncover the reality of what is being done to our children. What could have been a dry and boring subject to study turned out to be a fascinating, disturbing and emotional journey in which the audience is subjected to the horror that is our public school system. From the students that are forced to enter a lottery to get into decent schools to the horrid practice that most school systems adopt of shuffling bad teachers around instead of firing them, we cannot [...]

THE SHOCK DOCTRINE - Sundance Documentary Review

THE SHOCK DOCTRINE, a documentary directed by Michael Winterbottom (who is the only one of only two directors that had two movies at Sundance this year; the second one being The Killer Inside Me) and Mat Whitecross, puts in image the book written by Naomi Klein (pictured above), The Shock Doctrine, which looks into the hidden phenomenon called disaster capitalism that consists of the opportunistic use of social and economic disasters by governments and big business to advance their own agenda.
The Shock Doctrine does an excellent job of explaining in laymen terms the concept of disaster capitalism and how it has been used throughout history, whether it was in Chile during Pinochet's rule or even recently with the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan after 9/11. A simple way of understanding this concept is to observe how governments will use moments of crisis to try and advance their political and economic [...]

Adrian Grenier's TEENAGE PAPARAZZO - Sundance Documentary Review

TEENAGE PAPARAZZO, the third documentary from Entourage's Adrian Grenier, is a behind the scenes look at a 13-year-old paparazzo Austin Visschedyk and the world of the Paparazzi in general.
By following Austin, Grenier gains entry in the very secretive world of the Paparazzi revealing the truth behind the highly integrated media system that is powering the whole phenomenon. First you have the paparazzi like Austin who are doing everything legal and illegal to get the kind of shots that is going to make them money. Then you get to at the magazine world, and how they weed through the mass of photos that they receive to find the images that are going to drive the most readers to their content. Then you have the readers who seem to be more invested in the lives of celebrities than their own.
Grenier does a masterful job of delving into this seemingly harsh world [...]
