Troubled Water is an inspiring adventure-conservation documentary that follows two lifelong friends as they paddle more than 425 miles through the Great Lakes, turning their love for Michigan’s freshwater into a powerful story of advocacy and connection. Along the way, they spotlight the controversial Enbridge Line 5 oil pipeline, an aging crude oil conduit that runs beneath the Straits of Mackinac and poses significant environmental risk to the lakes that millions rely on for drinking water and recreation.
More than just a journey, the film blends stunning natural visuals with community voices and environmental urgency, showing how ordinary people can make space for meaningful change. It’s a thoughtful, hopeful watch for anyone who cares about water, place, and protecting what we love.

This thoughtful series invites us to slow down and look at what truly supports a long, meaningful life. Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones explores communities around the world where people regularly live well into their 90s and beyond—not through extreme diets or rigid routines, but through simple, everyday habits rooted in connection, purpose, and balance. It’s a gentle reminder that longevity isn’t about doing more, but about living more intentionally—nurturing relationships, moving naturally, eating simply, and finding joy in daily life. An inspiring watch if you’re craving perspective, hope, and a softer approach to well-being.
It's playing on Netflix.
