Nuclear Now
Nuclear Now
With unprecedented access to the nuclear industry in France, Russia, and the United States, Nuclear Now explores the possibility for the global community to overcome the challenges of climate change and energy poverty to reach a brighter future through the power of nuclear energy. Beneath our feet, Uranium atoms in the Earth’s crust hold incredibly concentrated energy. Science unlocked this energy in the mid-20th century, first for bombs and then to power submarines. The United States led the effort to generate electricity from this new source. Yet in the mid-20th century as societies began the transition to nuclear power and away from fossil fuels, a long-term PR campaign to scare the public began, funded in part by coal and oil interests.

Happy
Happy is a 2011 feature documentary film directed, written, and co-produced by Roko Belic. It explores human happiness through interviews with people from all walks of life in 14 different countries, weaving in the newest findings of positive psychology. Director Roko Belic was originally inspired to create the film after producer/director Tom Shadyac (Liar, Liar, Patch Adams, Bruce Almighty) showed him an article in the New York Times entitled "A New Measure of Well Being From a Happy Little Kingdom". The article ranks the United States as the 23rd happiest country in the world. Shadyac then suggested that Belic make a documentary about happiness. Belic spent several years interviewing over 20 people, ranging from leading happiness researchers to a rickshaw driver in Kolkatta, a family living in a "co-housing community" in Denmark, a woman who was run over by a truck, a Cajun fisherman, and more.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

After watching this documentary, i was completely frozen and amazed! this documentary really is a wake-up call for everyone. i think if everyone watched this movie, we would all have a better understanding of our own planet. i really want to thank Leonardo DiCaprio for making such an interesting documentary which is worth your time. i really recommend this documentary which as i now understand is on Netflix.

The movie shows us the consequences of the global warming, and what we are going to do to solve this problem.I think Sunita Narain made an impression on me when she said: "I'm sorry to say this, and I know you're American, so please don't take this the wrong way, but your consumption is really going to put a hole in the planet." She has very clear ideas about what we need, for example when she said what 1 American consumes at home is equivalent to 61 citizens of Nigeria, she knows about what we need and what we must to do to solve this problem. Also she wants to inform us about what is happening in the world.I liked it, because for me it is important to be informed about what is going on in the world and now I know what I can do to make the world better. I also learned important things, like there is no support from the Unites States government against global warming and that the islands could disappear as a product of the increase in water levels. My rating is 8/10.

The movie is about how climate change has affected our planet already. It shows us what are the causes, possible solutions and different points of view to this problem. One person that made an impression on me from the documentary is Dr. Pires Seller, who used to be an astronaut who worked for NASA. He made an impression on me because of his optimistic point of view and faith in humanity. Even though he knows all the facts and the dangers of climate change, and even though he knows we are responsible for that, he says he still has faith in humanity and he thinks we can fix it. He knows all the impacts climate change will have on our planet and he knows we need to change urgently and he still believes in us. I liked the movie because even though i knew about this problem it showed me different points of view that I hadn't thought about. Also I like how it shows me what countries are doing to deal with this problem and what I can do to help.
