Seaspiracy

Directed by a young British filmmaker, Seaspiracy delves into the impact humans are having on marine life and informs on what we can do to help reverse these issues. From carrying out local beach cleans to opening his eyes to the horrors of the fishing industry, the documentary maker takes a world-round trip to get to the bottom of the lesser known issues affecting the ocean.

Who for: Teens and adults

Why it’s important: The issues explored have not been covered by mainstream media and should be acknowledged.

Why recommend: It is such an interesting watch. The filmmaker is so naive to the problems that he is uncovering, that you feel as though you are embarking on the journey with him.


David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet

I don’t think we really have to say much on this one, because who doesn’t love David Attenborough. But we had to include it as A Life On Our Planet is such a fundamental watch for future generations. In short, the film is a "witness statement" whereby Attenborough shares his concerns for the current state of the planet.

Who for: Teens 

Why it’s important: In his 90 something years, David Attenborough has seen an awful lot and so hearing first hand what he has experienced and how he suggests we start making a difference should be heard by as many people as possible.

Why recommend: It is an honest and revealing message for future generations.


Down To Earth With Zac Efron

Who for: Teens 

Why it’s important: It is a very down-to-earth account of how we can do our bit to save the planet.

Why recommend: The show is filled with essential information and great knowledge.



Tomorrow

Tomorrow is a documentary roundup of can-do solutions to avoid human extinction. The filmmakers focus on activism around the world and what activists, organisers and everyday citizens are trying to make the world a better.

Who for: Adults

Why it’s important: It focuses on solutions rather than the problems.

Why recommend: Being exposed to how people all over the world do their bit is so inspiring to watch.
