In SUPER SIZE ME, filmmaker Morgan Spurlock unravels the American obesity epidemic by interviewing experts nationwide and by subjecting himself to a “McDonald’s only” diet for thirty days straight. His Sundance award-winning feature is as entertaining as it is horrifying as it dives into corporate responsibility, nutritional education, school lunch programs and how we as a nation are eating ourselves to death.
Quite an eye-opener!! Had no idea this stuff was so bad for you….
Whitwell Middle School in rural Tennessee is the setting for this documentary about an extraordinary experiment in Holocaust education. Struggling to grasp the concept of six-million Holocaust victims, the students decide to collect six-million paper clips to better understand the extent of this crime against humanity. The film details how the students met Holocaust survivors from around the world and how the experience transformed them and their community.

WOW…It is true that you learn something new everyday. I have been taught about the Holocaust, but never has it touched my heart like this. It’s nice to know that at any age people are willing to give so much of themselves for such a good reason. I am grateful for this 82 minutes of my day and I am grateful for people like the ones in Whitwell.
