A heartbreaking firsthand account of a Palestinian village's non-violent struggles against the forceful takeover of their land ~2010. I teared up several times during this one, and I think everyone should see it.

here are some favorites off the top of my head..
Zabardast: i'm partial to climbing/expedition docs, but this one is especially good. a travel diary of a group of voyagers exploring the remote lands of Pakistan to freeride ski down its mountains.
Night Fog: very heartbreaking look at WWII concentration camps
Dark Days: documents the lives of the homeless people living in the tunnels underneath New York City, without being intrusive or voyeuristic
Don't Look Back: self-explanatory (Minnesota's sweetheart)

This is my go-to "comfort watch" documentary. While I think part of that is having watched it so many times, there is a super casual tone to the movie that I think lends it to be a relaxed watch. The subject material and imagery does border on the disturbing at times, but there is something so...quaint (?) about the subjects of the doc that I've always been just fascinated by them.
CW: religious trauma, homophobia, discussions about reproductive rights, spiritual abuse
If any of these are triggers, I do NOT recommend watching this movie. Some of the children featured in this movie have been able to escape their upbringing but it definitely is kinda scary watching get brainwashed by these adults.

Here it is, folks! Volume I of what could very well be a continuous project. Thank you so much to everyone that submitted - I smiled the entire time I was putting this together. It's best listened to with headphones βΊοΈ
Liner Notes:
This collection of field recordings is a collaborative effort with users of PI.FYI, each of which recorded their own pieces. It features audio from all over the world and exhibits eclectic moments from London Underground commutes to cuckoo bird calls in Dhaka to the sounds of a century-old American diner.
Online communities like PI.FYI often represent a diverse set of people, places, and experiences, but together, the submissions form a living collage that highlights the commonalities of modern life - a unifying message for such a tumultuous time. The first track features all of the sounds played at once in an attempt to create an audio snapshot of an online community but in their offline lives.
The individual recordings are unedited except for minor gain and compression adjustments for consistency across the collection.
