The documentary followed VICE Media founder Shane Smith throughout North Korea as he went on the government-sanctioned tours around Pyongyang while he talks to the locals as well as their counterparts in South Korea, discussing the differences and the ongoing situation between the north and the south, sometimes candidly. Seeing footages from North Korea is already quite mesmerizing but to see it fully performed during its military parade in celebration for the 70th anniversary of statehood, is just unbelievable. Here is another documentary from Vice News where this time, we go to the hermit kingdom of North Korea in the Age of Trump when the country was on a charm offensive and appeared to be slowly emerging from its isolation.

What a way to end a great documentary that shows us the Iran we do not see in the news. One of my favorite moments is when he went and talk to the local heavy metal band based in Tehran called Chaos Descends and while they were discussing the government's censorship, the documentary started showing all the chaos that descended right after Vice News left the country from the protestors after another round of Trump sanction to the COVID-19 chaos. You can literally see the fear in these people's eyes when they are about to criticize the government. This one-hour-long Vice Guide to Iran follows Vice founder Suroosh Alvi through Iran as he traveled from Tehran to the southern coast to report on the Strait of Hormuz conflict that was brewing at the end of 2019.Īlong the way, Suroosh talked to people from all walks of life about the sanction, how it affected them, and what their thoughts were on the US. Vice News is definitely one of the best producers of this kind of content where they go to places with conflicts you rarely see in the news and report what they experience from the ground no matter if it is a warzone or extremely-restricted countries like Iran If you love this world, you will love this documentary. This is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen and it shed light on the problems humanity is currently facing and how much pressure we put on the only home we have, this planet. One of my favorite quote from the video has got to be this: Nothing seems further removed from nature than Dubai, although nothing depends on nature more than Dubai. The cinematography and the soundtrack are also top-notch and the narration will keep you engaged for the entire length of the documentary. With such a depressing picture painted about the world, towards the end of the documentary, the film will leave you with on a positive note and offer us hope that has always been the cornerstone of our positive development and innovation. The film then showed us how our current lifestyle is shaping the planet in an unsustainable way and at am accelerated speed that will make you wonder where our society is rushing to. This 1.5 hours long documentary started out from the beginning where nature and living things lived in harmony before humankind started shaping their environment to their own needs.

Released back in 2008 and released for free on Youtube, HOME documentary, and what the film talks about still relevant even today.

HOME documentary by Yann Arthus-Bertrand is one of the most profound documentaries I have ever watched. Looking for inspiring travel videos? Check out another: 20 Most Creative Travel Videos Of All Time Without further ado, let's begin with the first documentary about the only home we have. To fix that, I have decided to list 7 of my favorite short documentaries that will expand your worldview while shedding light on some of the important problems all around the globe and offer us a glimpse of things we don't see while traveling in hope that we will better understand the world a bit more and help each other out for the better of the world.Īfter all, isn't that what travel is all about? To expand your worldview, to understand us better, and to make the world a better place in our own ways. One of the downsides of the typical travel videos is that they often glorified the experience and rarely show the real world and all the problems that came with it. The world is a massive place and to be a good traveler is to be observant of many of the wonderful and unique cultures of the world so that we can expand our worldviews and understand this world a little bit more.
