We still have a video rental shop very close to our home here in Brussels: www.videoexpress.be (and I can use my Playstation 4 to view these legacy things…).

We don’t go that often. It requires to walk! There AND back! That said, the movies or documentaries that I rented there have made a long lasting impact on me.

I for example strongly recommend:

• Rafiki, a story of love between two women in Kenya. Here is the movie page on IMDB https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8286894/ and you can apparently rent it on Google Play : https://play.google.com/store/movies/details/Rafiki?id=roM8MKo1qik.P&hl=en&gl=US
• the one we saw last night: One More Jump, about a parkour team in the strip of Gaza, and all their frustration. Here is the page on IMDB (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11146570 I don’t know if it is visible somewhere online, but there seems to be some places where you can buy the DVD. Beware, it is not a feel good movie.

None of Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video and Apple+ are offering these. I am not dissing these services, we use them all, but still, these offering are not as exhaustive as they look like.
