1. Before The Flood
If you’re in the mood: to stare at Leonardo DiCaprio. And I guess to better visualize the impacts of Climate Change.

3. Going Clear
If you’re in the mood: to be mind blown and question why our mind believes certain things. You’ve heard how wacky scientology is but have you ever learned about what the religion actually entails? What you are taught? What you have to do to achieve more intense levels of scientology? You’ll meet former scientologists and their unbelievable stories of what they went through to “get clear.”

This documentary will leave you with new knowledge about fibers, fast fashion and insights on to how to be a better, conscious consumer.

Tickled
If you’re in the mood: for a thriller. The whole documentary I kept thinking, WTF if going on. This is a weird one but turns into a thrilling journey toward the end.

It is literally about competitive tickling so you won’t go to bed afraid that something bad is going to happen to you like those murder documentaries. Well, maybe if you have a fear of being tickled.
