13 Ethically Conscious and Environmental Care Documentaries

Catching the Sun

This documentary explores the world economy of the fledgling solar industry and its impact on hopeful US job hunters. The documentary tells the story of the global transition through the perspective of those involved – such as businessmen and workers, who resolve to create solutions to end income inequality and climate change.

GMO OMG

GMO OMG is the documentary about GMO foods and the truth about the food industry, and filmmaker Jeremy Seifert chronicles his story as a given on a mission to uncover the truth about genetically modified foods and how the loss of seed diversity and laboratory-assisted genetic alteration of food affects his young children, the health of our planet, and freedom of choice everywhere. The documentary reveals that people generally do not know that they are constantly eating genetically modified foods. Amid this new trend, a family man is concerned with defining the best way to feed his family without compromising the environment and the health of each one of them.

Seaspiracy

Seaspiracy examines the global fishing industry. This movie questions the challenging notions of sustainable fishing and shows how human actions cause widespread environmental destruction. The more people genuinely become aware of all that has been going on, the more likely they will be willing to progressively eliminate animal products as part of their meals.  Many of the current problems in the world will be curbed. Passionate about ocean life, the filmmaker sets out to document humans’ harm done to marine species — and uncovers alarming global corruption.
