Now that most of us are finally free for the summer, it’s inevitable that most college students will want to spend their first few weeks of freedom winding down from the stress of finals and moving out. Most of us will turn to Netflix and binge watch the shows we weren’t able to watch during the semester. However, while it feels good to catch up on our beloved TV Shows, Netflix has many more options to offer. Here are some of the best documentaries on Netflix you need to see before they disappear.
1. She’s Beautiful When She’s Angry
An up-close look at the birth of the women’s liberation in the 1960’s, She’s Beautiful When She’s Angry is a great effort at shining lights on the darkened places of second wave feminism.
2. Miss Representation

“You can’t be what you can’t see” is the motto of this film that highlights the disparaging image of women in mainstream media and how it hurts younger girls.
3. The Hunting Ground

4. What Happened, Miss Simone?
Taking a look at the epidemic of child obesity, Fed Up takes a unique perspective and puts American corporations and government and its encouragement of unhealthy food under the microscope.
