2 nf recs- derry girls and black earth rising. [View all]

ok, couldnt be different, but gulped down both of them.

i avoided derry girls cuz i have limited tolerance for high school drama. but read the other day that scorcese was a fan, so i tried it. i loved it. as a survivor of 12 yrs of catholic school, and recognizing a few of my relatives in the characters, well, i was sad to get to the end.
def a fun 1.

black earth rising, tho, phew. what a complex story. what interesting characters. and what a view of humanity. beautifully done, too. the animations they use to illustrate past events is gorgeous and perfect.
def recommend.
