So I've made a list of some of I've seen and some that I really want to watch this year. Out of the 5 here that I have already seen I would recommend My Beautiful Broken Brain (2014), Blackfish (2013) and Dreams of a Life (2011).
Unfortunately for us Brits, Dear Zachary is only available in the US and Canada. I read about this story a few years back and I've wanted to watch this ever since, so I think I may have to buy the DVD instead.
