a few of my favourite docs

I do love me a good documentary.  I started watching even more documentaries in the past year, when reading became more challenging for me as a result of a car accident in September 2009.  Documentaries & TED talks have kept my mind & heart engaged.  Lucky for me, my beloved CBC has great documentaries available to stream online.  The Passionate Eye & Doc Zone are both work checking out.

65 Red Roses is a touching & sometimes heart breaking documentary.  It offers a glimpse into the life of Eva Markvoort as she battles the cystic fibrosis.  Her creative spirit, and open hearted strength & determination inspire me.  Such a beautiful, bright spirit.  It recently showed at the Sundance Film Festival, and will be airing on Oprah's new network, OWN in the spring.

It is also currently available to view online on cbc.ca (perhaps only in Canada...)
