Ai Weiwei BBC Documentary in its entirety. It’s an interesting perspective since, I believe, this was filmed before his publicized arrest and secret incarceration. If you have 51 minutes to spare, then sit back and watch. Full screen is recommended.

Waste Land is currently on Netflix instant view. It’s the story of artist Vik Muniz traveling to Rio where the largest landfill in the world, Jardim Gramacho, resides. The film is poetic, enriching the conversation concerning the role of art as a medium to educate. Muniz works with the pickers at the landfill who make a living collecting recyclables that are salvageable from garbage. They are a hard working, proud and optimistic, and this documentary illuminates their wonderful lives and hearts. Definitely bump up to the top spot of your queue. You won’t regret it.
