In "Documentaries," I have compiled review articles about documentaries. Most of the movies I watch are documentaries because I have a strong interest in "what is happening in the world today."

Movie ”V siti”: How to Protect Your Child Online (Director Barbora Chalupova)
The shocking documentary film "V siti" moved the police in the Czech Republic, and is filled with the ugliness of middle-aged men who take advantage of a girl's "loneliness". We should realize the reality that simply "restricting internet access" is not enough to protect children. -

[Summary] For Sama: A Mother’s Struggle in War-Torn Syria (Director Waad Al-Kateab)
I was so shocked by "For Sama" that I thought such a movie could never exist again.

[Film] Is “THE MOLE” Really a Documentary? A Must-Watch Film (Director Mads Brugger)
The movie "THE MOLE" is a film full of shocking footage that makes you wonder, "Is it really a documentary?" If the start of "A Danish ex-cook infiltrates North Korea on his own" is unintelligible, the development of a man with no intelligence or military experience revealing North Korea's secrets one after another is also too mysterious. It is a crazy work. -

Marine pollution caused by plastic trash is far beyond our imagination. And the reality is also linked to the problem that "we ingest microplastics on a daily basis." From the movie "A Plastic Ocean," we can learn about the environmental destruction caused by modern civilization.
