This is...an inconvenient truth.

"An inconvenient truth" (2006) is a documentary film directed by Davis Guggenheim about former US Vice President Al Gore's campaign to educate citizens about global warming. 
It is very well made and impressed me a lot. And it also made me think "what if Al Gore had won the elections 2000..? Would this world be as it is today..?". Well, things went like that so it is useless to "wonder if...". 

Anyway, this documentary shows scientific evidence on global warming and on the effects it has today and the ones that it's going to have in a (awfully near) future if we don't reverse course. 
This film had a great impact on the public opinion: 66% of the people who had seen the film said it had changed their mind and 74% said they had changed some of their habits because of seeing it. 
In 2010 an initiative called "Inconvenient truth" was launched: it is built on the belief that young people can help solving climate problems. 

There would be so many things to say about this documentary...but YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT. ABSOLUTELY. It could really change the way you look at all the environmental problems. 
"An inconvenient truth" won two Academy Awards for Best Documentary Feature and Best Original Song. It grossed $ 24 million in the U.S.and $ 26 million in the foreign box office, becoming the 9th highest grossing documentary film to date in the United States. 
It has raised international public awareness and it has reenergized the environmental movement. 

C'mon! Now go watch it!

More than honey.

"More than honey" is a Swiss documentary film which talks about honeybees in California, Switzerland, China and Australia. 
I watched it last week and it was vey instructive: it opened my mind on a world that I didn't know so well and I strongly recommend you to watch it. 
It shows how important the bees are for the survival of a lot of plant species and also of the mankind. 
In the documentary different points of view are shown, from the traditional beekeeper living in the mountains to the American entrepreneur whose bees mean profit to him. 
Today, the bees are disappearing because of some pesticides used in agriculture which contain substances that kill the them. 
The activity carried out by the bees is of fundamental importance and we can't let them go extinct. If you want to do something to help them, sign the petition of Greenpeace that you can find by clicking on this link http://sos-bees.org/#petition/?GPI_action .
