The Fog of War

A tour de force documentary by Errol Morris, where former defense secretary Robert McNamara delivers an account of his political life in the form of a confession, at times weeping. A perfect insight into the real world where there is no such thing as the good guys and the bad guys, just impossible decisions, compromise and eventual moral bankruptcy. One of the best documentaries ever made.

Running time: 1 hour 47 mins.

Rivers and Tides – Andy Goldsworthy

Beautiful documentary about my favorite artist, Andy Goldsworthy. Goldsworthy makes landscape sculpture from purely natural materials that are immediately at hand. He makes arches out of cracked ice, spirals out of cracked stones, and incredible sculptures from woven leaves. The results are simple and unpretentious but at the same time profound and painstakingly well crafted.

Running time: 1 hour 30 mins.

Stanford Prison Experiment

The infamous experiment where subjects were shown to willingly inflict torture on others just because they were ‘obeying orders’. The psychologist at the center of the experiment was a witness for the defense at the Abu Ghraib trials, where he stated that any person was capable of evil, given the right circumstances. More importantly, he suggested that people would return to normal after, something which has dramatic implications not only for the criminal justice system, but the people who choose to send people to war or circumstances where evil actions are certain outcome.

Running time: 50 mins.
