Out of Print - Documentary Trailer

 

Out of Print, a 55 minute documentary, came out in 2013. I'd never heard of it until recently and decided to go ahead and watch it. I enjoyed watching this documentary about the printed word.

Out of Print is narrated by Meryl Streep and "draws us into the topsy-turvy world of words, illuminating the turbulent and exciting journey from the book through the digital revolution. Jeff Bezos, Ray Bradbury, Scott Turow, Jeffrey Toobin, parents, students, educators, scientists – all highlight how this revolution is changing everything about the printed word – and changing us."

Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold - Documentary on Netflix


I've had the documentary, 'Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold', in my Netflix watch list for the past year... I finally watched it last week and enjoyed it.

I really don't watch a lot of television. Instead preferring to read, knit, blog, spend time on the computer in general, etc. So, this is one of the main reasons it took me so long to finally make the time to watch this documentary.

To date, I've never read anything written by Joan Didion. I am aware of some of her books, but I didn't know much about her life. So, with that said, I actually learned a lot about her life from watching, 'Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold'. Joan's life is fascinating! I now look forward to reading some of her books.

Have you watched 'Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold?' What did you think of it?
