JUST ONE MORE ... documentary.
Here's the thing -- I started this particular series nearly two years ago (this is the 23rd edition) as a concept to embrace incremental change in order to empower folks (or just me) to stay positive and solution-focused in a day and age where problems often seem insurmountable, control often seems out of reach and apathy often seems to be running rampant
Understandably, that may beg the question as to how exactly watching a fact-based movie might fit into that concept. Here's my take -- doing so is a modern way to update that old adage about "not judging someone until you've walked a mile in his or her shoes". Of course, be cautious. Documentaries may be a presentation of the facts, but in this world of "alternate facts", a healthy suspicion about exactly what agendas the director and editor might be advancing is in order. Hopefully, though, the docs you find are the ones that leave you slightly uncomfortable and moderately challenged as to what you *thought* you always knew to be true.
Over on the Facebook, I'll suggest some specific titles on a weekly basis as I reminder readers of this month's challenge ... but here's hoping you get to open your eyes to the experiences of the "others" not like you for the purpose of adding to the love and understanding that is in short supply in this world. Admittedly, that's a bit of a lofty goal ... but I think we can do it if we manage to expose ourselves to just one more ... documentary.
