In an expedition to look for a legend, The Loneliest Whale: The Search For 52, researchers today see if they can find the single whale who sang its own distinct song with no response three decades ago.

An unhinged documentary about cyber-bullying in a small-town high school, Unknown Number: The High School Catfish has a truly unbelievable story to tell. When this film popped up on Netflix a few weeks ago, I added it to my watchlist and half forgot about it. I do that with a lot of films and get…

I vividly remember hearing about the four children who were lost in the Colombian Amazon following a plane crash in 2023. There were mentions on various news programs throughout…
A documentary about Ocean Ramsey and her quest to understand sharks and raise awareness, Shark Whisperer is a beautiful film that also feels like it leans a little too heavily to one side. I have never seen the movie Jaws. It is a film staple that has always been full of people’s reported fear of…
An exuberant documentary about the illegal 1974 Twin Towers high-wire crossing by Philippe Petit and his team of friends, Man On Wire is full of excellent interviews, photos, and videos taken at the time. This is lots of fun. I have had Man On Wire on my list to watch for a very long time….
