I didn't expect much when I started watching Close The Divide. Let's be real documentaries can sometimes feel like homework, and I was ready for this to be one of those. But honestly, it totally surprised me. It's not just full of facts. It's powerful, emotional, and honestly really cool to watch.
The stories were what got me the most. The film focuses on people dealing with things like climate change and inequality, but it's not just about their struggles. It shows how we're all getting so polarized, and it's becoming so political that we've lost touch with the actual problems. That really hit me, and I had to think about how I might be doing the same thing! The way the story is told feels super real and different in that way.
At the same time, I can totally see how this would make people feel uncomfortable because it seems like we're going about this all wrong. I honestly didn't understand the scale of the problem before watching this. It's crazy how much is happening that we don't even think about. By the time it was over, I actually wanted to do something about the issues they talked about, and that's not something I usually feel after watching a documentary.
In the end, Close The Divide turned out to be one of the best documentaries I've seen lately. It's such a great mix of being informative and inspiring, and I think anyone who cares even a little about the world we live in should give it a watch.7 stars.
