2 . Four Documentaries to Watch
We’ve dug deep to find four of the most exciting documentary films for you to enjoy in the coming winter holiday. Documentary films have the capacity to inspire, entertain or even change people and the world around them. |
| Elizabeth: A Portrait in Parts In June, the Queen celebrated her Platinum Jubilee (白金禧年) to mark her 70th year as monarch. In this film, Roger Michell pieced together archive footage from hundreds of sources to show the Queen from a more human perspective.  The trailer shows the Queen yelping in pain as Princess Eugenie steps on her foot and Paul McCartney even pops up for an interview. Sadly, Michell died just as the film was being completed and his final gift to the world is available in cinemas and on Amazon Prime. |
| The Sanctity of Space The Sanctity of Space is a visual feast for the eyes that promises to take us into the heart of the snow-topped mountains of Alaska.  Inspired by a legendary 20th-century mountain photographer named Brad Washburn, directors Renan Ozturk and Freddie Wilkinson come up with a plan to make a long walk through a dangerous mountain range in his honor. |
| Last Exit: Space Is there anything more fascinating than a night sky filled with stars, planets and everything in between? In Last Exit: Space, Werner Herzog explores the human potential for colonizing space and sending people where they’ve never been before. Since planet Earth is possibly going to hell in a handcart, the film promises to ask the question: where else might we call home?  |
| Gorbachev. Heaven As leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev was once one of the most powerful people on the planet who governed a landmass so big that it covered 11 time zones. Gorbachev’s legacy is a complex one—he oversaw the end of the Cold War but many Russians blame him for the Soviet Union’s collapse.
