The other night I watched 'Wasteland'. It was one of those films which, especially once you know it's a documentary, feels a bit like having to eat all your vegetables before leaving the table. I make myself watch 'educational' documentaries' quite regularly, not purely for the sake of my edification, but because I know that if it's about something I'm interested in - however mildly - I will usually be glad that I did. It's also a bit like doing daily exercise in the rain. You always feel better for it afterwards but it's not much fun at the time.
