[QUOTE="Stick, post: 438220, member: 3474"] Some great suggestions there boys and gal. Assuming that Netflix in the States is the same as in Blighty, here's mine... [b]Maidentrip:[/b] The true story of a 14 year Dutch girl Laura Dekker who decides at the age of 12 she is going to sail solo around the world. The story attracted much media attention, initially not due to her aspirations, but because her family came under scrutiny for not acting responsibly (easy to judge when one doesn't have full understanding). The film is wonderfully made with of course all the footage at sea shot by Laura herself. In an epoch where teenagers are often criticised for undesirable traits and anti social behaviours, this film serves as a timely and refreshing reminder of, given the right circumstances, the potential of the youth of today. Inspiring viewing. [b]Beasts of no nation:[/b] Caught up in an African civil war, a young boy named Agu witnesses his father being executed, his brother shot whilst trying to evade capture and his mother fleeing to an unknown location for safety. Now on the run and alone the in the world Agu is found and trained by a rebel faction who employ guerrilla tactics to overthrow the government forces responsible for the wide scale devastation and in doing so Agu becomes embroiled within the atrocities. Shocking, thought provoking, upsetting and brilliantly written, if you're a father of a young son like me this may make for challenging viewing. For the fans of Luther (also on Netflix), Idris Elba puts in a fine performance. [/QUOTE]
