2 Documentaries to Watch

Very different, but I loved them both...



Pray the Devil back to Hell

About how women in Liberia changed their country's history. I love learning about Liberia because it feels like they are our cousins--Liberia was founded by freed slaves from the US and our mistakes bleed into their history.

Autism: the Musical

Don't be dismayed by the frightening title. It isn't really a full length musical. Instead it is a snapshot into the lives of several families and their children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Absolutely fascinating and eye opening. It was a good reminder of how quickly most of us dismiss individuals who have a difficult time communicating in ways we consider normal.
