“AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH” REVIEW
I saw this movie tonight and it scared the hell out of me. Before this I didn’t know much about global warming… I knew it was something we should be worrying about, but didn’t realise that it has already had such drastic effects, or how urgent it is to stop it.
MOVIES WITH A MESSAGE
People say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, a movie must be worth a million then. Over the last few years there seem to have been a heap of brilliant documentaries
THE FUTURE OF FOOD REVIEW
The movie presents food in the 21st century: the way we grow it, the way we mess with it and the current corruption, deceit, and dangers that exist. It also gives an even dimmer outlook of our planet’s future related to food…
LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT REVIEW
This film takes a look into the world of politics through a hip-hop lens. It follows the American hip-hop movement from the 80’s to present. Through the voices of the hip-hop community issues such as the war on drugs, Regan presidency, crack epidemic, racial profiling, patriot act, censorship, police brutality, poverty, the industrial prison complex…
THE FOURTH WORLD WAR REVIEW
The Fourth World War is an amazing documentary. It captures people’s movements around the world that resisted the devastation caused by globalisation.
SYRIANA REVIEW
Syriana is an interesting movie which brings to light the economics, politics and corruption behind the oil industry.
Freedom of speech and expression: Free to be me

Fahrenheit 9/11
By Corrina Howland, age 14, Wellington
Fahrenheit 9/11 is Bush-bashing at its cinematographic best. The documentary provides an insight into Michael Moore’s many theorems about George Dubya and takes viewers step by step through the scandals and subsequent cover-ups made by the Bush government upon the issue of the Iraq War.
