As we move into the dog days of summer with heat waves virtually enveloping the entire world, there are few better times to sit back with a qualuty documentary. With so many choices (and platforms), we turn to one of our favourites, #eyelet, to see what is on offer around topics Modern Times Review is interested in (#surveillance, #capitalism, #militarism, #technology, etc.). Here, we found five quality eyelet documentaries that fall in that line and are available virtually all around the world. Check them out below!
Buon Inverno
Director: Giovanni Totaro/Italy/2017
Every summer on #Mondello Beach# in #Palermo, more than a thousand cabins are erected to house the same number of groups of bathers who will spend the season in them. For these people, the «huts» are the perfect setting in which to hide behind the memory of a social status that the #financial crisis# of recent years has undermined.
Depth Two
Director: Ognjen Glavonic/Serbias/2018
While #NATO was bombing #Yugoslavia in 1999, a truck containing 53 dead bodies plunged into the #Danube near the border with #Romania with no enquiries carried out. Previously, in #Kosovo, Serbian police herd villagers together, a woman experiences terrible things, and bodies disappear into remote mass graves.
Searching Eva
Director: Pia Hellenthal/Germany/2019
A young woman, growing up in the age of the #internet turns the search for oneself into a public spectacle. Through her fragmented personalities you see the emergence of a new generation, in which the concept of a fixed identity has grown old.
Shooting the Mafia
Director: Kim Longinotto/Ireland, USA/2019
Documenting the Cosa Nostra’s barbaric rule, Letizia Battaglia bore unflinching witness to their crimes. Her photographs, art, and bravery helped bring an end to a shocking reign of slaughter.
The State Against Mandela and the Others
Director: Nicolas Champeaux/France/2018
In #South Africa#, July 11th, 1963, several members of the African National Congress are arrested in Rivonia, a country house near #Johannesburg. The detainees, along with #Nelson Mandela#, imprisoned since 1962, are charged with serious crimes for their radical activism against the apartheid regime
