Facing War provides an unparalleled insight into the nature of diplomacy: Hardly any film provides such direct access and close-up look at top diplomats at work preventing conflicts and wars. It is especially intriguing during a time in world history when diplomacy is under increased strain and when the widespread perception of its effectiveness is being called into question. The film also focuses on UN Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg. It feels reckless to criticize the film for not going deeper into this portrait, as there must be certain security considerations that must be taken into account. But it is nevertheless the absence of the family in the film is sorely missed. Watching this movie is recommended for anyone with even the smallest interest in world politics.

An intriguing, funny and breathtaking film exploring what it means to be human: Documentary film, Human Race, centers on a monumental scientific investigation to create a library of our species throughout time. The library might provide an explanation for why mental illness is prevalent in human DNA. The film gradually transforms into an intimate portrait of the principal scientist, Professor Eske Willerslev, who is spearheading the project. In this way, the film adds a poetic and human element to the understanding of the scientific endeavor. What we think of as mental diseases is closely related to what makes us human. It is deeply fascinating and super recommendable.
