Freakonomics

Freakonomics, 2010, Documentary
Plot: Based on a book written by a journalist and an economist, this film is comprised of several short documentaries and excerpts that cover each of the books chapters.

Thoughts: The material was presented in a very unique way and was still thought-provoking and interesting. They delve into the world of sumo wrestling and how they affect their society and also how incentives can help young people succeed. One of the most interesting parts was the topic about naming baby and race relations. It was hard to watch but it is something that needed to be talked about. This is good to watch if you want to watch something quick and in spurts.
