Dancing with the Birds
Wild birds have mating rituals that, to us, look like fascinating dances, all to charm a potential mate. For bird-watching and nature enthusiasts, they are incredible rituals. If you are one of them, you will certainly be thrilled with 'Dancing with the Birds', a Netflix documentary made by the same creators of the beautiful series 'Our Planet'. Here, we have images that are true visual wonders, in addition to the use of drones and remote cameras that help to address behaviors never before recorded. As a cherry on top, the narration of the great Stephen Fry ('Wilde') provides an elegant and comedic touch to the documentary.
Documentary
Kemonito: The Final Fall
Kemonito, the mascot of the Mexican World Wrestling Council, has been trying to retire for years due to his many injuries, but his financial problems don't allow him to.
Apollo 13: Survival
The classic Ron Howard drama with Tom Hanks, Apollo 13, tells a true story about a failed space mission in such a thrilling way that it begs the question of what was real and what was artistic license. The documentary Apollo 13: Survival reveals recordings that suggest much of it happened just as portrayed. However, what stands out here is BAFTA-nominated director Peter Middleton’s (The Real Charlie Chaplin) mastery in taking archival material and not only weaving it into an exciting narrative but also making it chillingly realistic and urgent. It might even be the superior film on the subject.
Untold: Hope Solo vs. U.S. Soccer
Untold: Hope Solo vs. U.S. Soccer is another documentary in the Untold series, which covers scandals and shocking stories in sports. This time, the focus is on American goalkeeper Hope Solo, one of the best in her position, but who faced tensions with fans and conflicts with teammates. In this film, she herself talks about this complex story full of ups and downs.
