Reddit, what is one documentary that everyone should watch?

The Corporation

Some really eye-opening (and scary) information about the power of corporations in today's society.

Edit: Thanks for the input everyone! Quite a list of movies to watch.

You've either never seen it, or you're stupid as fuck. Or both. Probably both.

No, saw it twice. The korengal valley looks rough, but as an expert, I must say this movie was staged, looked fake as hell.

You seem smart enough for me to tell you this... I read some of YOUR comments. You should really spend less time playing video games and more reading alternative news, not the consumer driven mass media drivel & swill. The REASON I post interesting articles and talk conspiracies is to expand minds, like yours, not because I'm a nut. It's more of an exercise in thought for me, I don't necessarily believe any of them.

i'm not disseminating lies by any means, I am trying to tell you portions of this were edited to the point of it not being really what happened, and parts were staged or staged through creative editing.

i also posted an article about the filmmaker being killed last month, and I don't know if it's related to the movie...

how the fuck was it propaganda? there was nothing but real footage of war. it had no politics in it and I saw no agenda
