Okay, I would like to talk about not exactly a TV documentary that I watched because I haven’t watched a TV documentary since I think before COVID, I don’t remember exactly. And for this reason I’m going to talk about a film which was at which is a documentary film. That I watched in a theater here in Turin like I think three or four months ago, I don’t remember exactly. And yeah, this documentary was about Miyazaki, which is a film director and he is the most important face in the studio Ghibli, which is an animation studio well known all around the world, in particular in Japan. And I decided to watch this movie because I love Studio Ghibli and all the movies that they made. And for this reason I decided to go with one friend of mine to watch this documentary to know more about the story of this director, but also I learned a lot about all the things that had to be done to produce a film, in particular the last one that this director made. And so I found this documentary very interesting, not only for the reasons that I have already described, but also because after watching this documentary I found a different interpretation about this film which is called The Boy and the Errone. And I couldn’t find some new good things about not only this film, but about all his filmography in general.
