Hillsong: A Megachurch Exposed (2022)
Exposing a multi-billion dollar industry
This was personal to me. I have grown up being educated in a private christian school in Sweden. And with the Hillsong movement so strong here, I could'nt neither resist to watch the documentary nor recognize the pattern of brainwashing as described.
Myself am a non-christian. Which of course is OK but I remember being invited to a few Hillsong events here. I could not believe what I was seeing.
Everyone was either crying or on the ground shaking and I simply turned around and walked away. But regardless how weird and proposterous it may have been, I remember crying to one song, I think it was "Oceans". I didn't know why at the time but about what was said in the documentary it all makes sense now.
Regarding the documentary, started off very strong but felt unfinished when the series was over. I was also led to believe that the church finally was exposed, over and done but I feel it wasn't.
Giving it an 8 for all the Hillsong supporters trying to bring the score down, probably on the fence between 7 and 8.
72 Dangerous Animals - Asia (2018)
Intense, even when it's not that remarkable
I have now watched all of the '72-series' on Netflix, and this is their crown and jewel. With interesting and describing stories about dangerous, cute and ugly animals. While it sometimes is a bit overly exaggerated, they are informive in the best way. And we can barely take our eyes of some animals. Solid 9/10
