The exclusive look at Banksy’s legendary stencil street-art style and its dangerous process tugs at the idea of right versus wrong and vandalism versus art.

2. Minimalism:

Not only do Joshua Fields Milburn and Ryan Nicodemus advocate for focusing on the important things, they use hip-hop icon Drake’s quote to do it. From Drake’s “Connect” comes, “wish you would learn to love people and use things/ Not the other way around.” The eye-opening documentary reminds us to question what we value and to make more room for the necessities and less on the excess. Interviews from an array of people from all walks of life make sense of their approach to living a more meaningful life by owning the least amount of material possessions possible.

Whether you’re for or against plant-based diets, this film opens room for discussion regarding motives from sponsors and their impact on massive health organization food guidelines. “What the Health” can supplement anyone’s current diet knowledge and allow one to improve from where he or she stands health-wise today.

4. Tony Robbins: I Am Not Your Guru

5. Banking on Bitcoin

Ever heard of a cashless society? Banking on Bitcoin presses on implications that a peer-to-peer electronic cash system has on a society.
