pay attention to what you don't think about....

TRY TO WATCH AT LEAST ONE DOCUMENTARY A MONTH!

This is real life...what's happening on this Earth. 
It's the non-fiction, no-joke-truth about what we don't usually think about.

Try this one...
Urbanized

A film about urban design, 
Why some cities struggle and why others work,
The challenges of space, population, economics, and environment that are faced every day.

Did you know that in Mumbai (which is almost bigger in population than Tokyo) there is only one toilet per every 600 people? One bathroom per ten families is considered 'adequate' in Mumbai (can you even imagine that??) 

Denmark and Bogota are two of the most successful cities in the world in terms of public space, transportation and overall collective happiness. 
Find out who is behind the reason for this and that yes, in fact, there is a strategy behind it.

While your'e at it, here are a few others that are a must-see, a few of which I've already mentioned..
...About human suffering and enlightenment
...About two men on a cross-continental journey,
exploring different cultures on their motorcycles
...About a rare look inside this absolute tragedy that is still taking place in North Korea, even after the death of Kim Jong-il.

There are a few. Do yourself a favor and get on this train...
