I am not sure if this is Academy Award-worthy just yet, but I highly recommend it. At the very least, a conversation will be started after leaving the theater.

Absolutely perfect, must watch documentary. This can apply to everyone’s life. It applies to a single person, a business, and a government. This documentary will improvise your understanding for your surroundings and helps you become more self aware.
