If you know me at all, you know that I am a sucker for quality documentaries. Some documentaries have had a profound impact on my life. For example, watch Tapped to see why I avoid bottled water at all costs. While you're at it, take some time to learn what really happened in the Gulf Oil spill. Documentaries can sometimes be biased so you want to research what you are watching to see where the producers are getting their information. These quality documentaries will undoubtedly make you question the status quo. View them here.
