Our Great National Parks - a fascinating look over some of our planet’s most fascinating places

 



Our Great National Parks is one more documentary begging you to protect our planet. But, instead of focusing on the bad things, this time, it shows the most beautiful landscapes and fantastic animals - what you’re losing if we don’t take care of our planet. 

It shows the most wonderful places and the most unexpected curiosities about those places and their animals. It gives us a reason to fight for planet Earth.

What makes it different from all other documentaries you may have already seen? Not much, but President Obama’s narration is lovely to listen to. 

They do... what?!


This show doesn’t simply show the animals living in the chosen places. It focuses on the ones that have something out of the ordinary. Some surprising intelligent level, or bizarre behaviors, sometimes funny ones. You really want to know what comes next because you want to be surprised.

I would say that all episodes had some fascinating information. However, if I had to choose one, I’d probably go with the surfing hippos. 

The importance of having a safe place


Wild animals can’t live in our cities. They need a protected space to thrive - a place that fills all their needs. Our Great National Parks mission shows us how these places are vital to these animals (and even for us, for the sake of our meds production, for example). 

It also tells us how these parks helped recover some species that were already facing extinction. In fact, Our Great National Parks is a message of hope - our planet can still win.

A good time with Obama!


The show is great, and Obama’s narration gives it a special touch. The places were chosen because they mean something to the former US President, bringing the emotional part any show needs.

I totally recommend you to watch the whole 4 episodes.

Review: Billie Eilish: Unfiltered – A Shallow, Soulless Recap Pretending to Be a Documentary

  Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5) If you're expecting Billie Eilish: Unfiltered to offer an intimate look into the life, artistry, or creative process of one of Gen Z’s most influential pop icons, prepare to be disappointed.  This so-called documentary barely scratches the surface, delivering little more than a dry, lifeless rundown of Billie Eilish 's discography, awards, and chart performances. At best, it's a glorified Wikipedia entry with background music. At worst, it’s a wasted hour of potential. Unfiltered? The documentary lacks narrative depth, personal insight, or any meaningful exploration of who Billie Eilish is beyond her resume. Rather than providing behind-the-scenes footage, raw interviews, or critical commentary, Unfiltered relies on a monotonous narrator reeling off her achievements like items on a grocery list. There are occasional quotes from Billie herself, but they’re so brief and context-free they feel like filler material. For a documentary claiming to be “u...

Raising Voices - Why Alma's Mom Had the Right Reaction

  In Netflix’s Raising Voices , there's a raw, emotionally charged moment when Alma confesses to her mom that something happened the night she disappeared — she was drunk, she had sex, and something didn’t feel right. It’s the kind of moment that many parents dread. But Alma’s mom handled it in a way that deserves attention. She didn’t panic. She didn’t judge. She didn’t lose control. Instead, she met her daughter halfway, which made all the difference. What Happened in the Scene? When Alma opened up to her mom, she wasn’t just confessing — she was testing the waters for safety. Could she trust her mom with the truth? Would she still be loved after saying something shameful, scary, or confusing? Her mom’s response wasn’t perfect — but it was real. She was concerned, but didn’t explode. She asked questions. She listened. She let the moment breathe. Why That Reaction Matters Technically, what Alma described can be considered sexual assault , given her level of intoxication. Bu...
