Francesco's Italy: Top to Toe (2006)
Captures the Italian essence beautifully
Having visited some of the Italian cities in the North, on different occasions with family, best friend and alone, this series involed some of the best of those lovely memories perfectly and showed me so much more that I wish I had been able to see as well as lots of informative culture and history - I do hope to go again and it will make it so much more special.
Presented by an Italian it mentions many of the best bits, and a few less good bits of history, but the sunny and characteristicly friendly approach just like a holiday allows you to temporarily forget modern struggles and enjoy the best of Italian kindness and culture.
Revolution (2012)
Watchable, inspiring and informative
Covers a range of issues, joined with an engaging personal narrative and culminating in a message that there is hope but we need to get involved in the movement for good. Great cinematography including beautiful underwater scenes and well produced overall.
Whilst it has a similar message to 'An Inconvenient Truth' or 'Age of Stupid' it also has something in common with David Attenborough wildlife films before it goes on to cover the Canadian tar sands issue. Then it specifically deals with the need for international cooperation at climate conferences and the need to hold politicians who attend to account, and how young people are so engaged and involved. While we have annual climate conferences this will always be topical.
