see through the chaos: What to do whilst in Coronavirus lockdown?

With millions of us stuck at home with little to do, now could be a great time for collective learning, about the system in which we live. An awakening is needed now more than ever, in order for us to begin addressing the huge issues we face.

Here's a list of documentaries, short films, interviews, talks, etc, that I have come across over the last few years, and found informative and often enlightening.

Coming to terms with what has been done to the planet by the current system can be distressing, but it's a vital step if we are to secure a sustainable, peaceful future.
