The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

September 9, 2013

{life list} Watch 100 Documentaries: #1-5

Hungry for Change: I’m always looking to learn more about health and nutrition.  This documentary was quite informational and had lots of good points.  My husband and I liked it very much.

30 for 30: Broke: This was a very interesting look at the reality behind professional athletes’ seemingly perfect, flashy lifestyles.  The majority fall into bankruptcy shortly after retirement because of poor financial decision making.  Sad.   

Craigslist Joe: In this movie, a man spends an entire month depending on the kindness of Craigslist users for his survival.  Definitely a “hope for humanity” type movie.  I liked it.

First Position: This documentary followed young people following their dreams to becoming professional ballet dancers.  I found this one fascinating on so many levels.  

SEC Storied: Lolo Jones: I love movies that are inspirational and this one on Lolo Jones was no exception. She overcame homelessness and poverty to become an amazingly talented Olympic hurdler.  After watching, I was itching to go out and run!

    Ryan loves documentaries, so we've watched several 30 for 30, but not Broke–we will have to check it out. We've watched Craigslist Joe, too–such an interesting story.

    I somehow hadn't read your list before, so really enjoyed reading it tonight. Great goals! I might have to make one, too 🙂
