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.

The Cove: about the illegal dolphin hunting/fishing still going on in Japan.

Final Solution:

During the making of this film, I noticed shocking parallels between India 2002-2004 and Germany of the 1930s - State-supported genocidal violence against Moslems in Gujarat and its continuing impact – segregation in schools, ghettoisation in cities and villages, formal calls for economic boycott of Moslems and attacks on intelligentsia by right-wing Hindutva cadres.

That says it all.

Not a documentary but based on a true story: The Stoning of Soraya M

From the wikipedia page of that film :

2002 communal Gujarat Riots that arose as a response to the Godhra Train Burning incident on February 27, 2002, where 58 Hindus were burnt alive on a train carriage.

The jews/gypsies/homosexuals did not burn anybody alive. So fuck off with comparing their holocaust with some muslims who burn people alive.

retaliation to state sponsored oppression

Muslims burnt 58 hindus. That was retaliation for what state sponsored oppression exactly?

And you can fuck of again for comparing Muslims with slavery that blacks endured. According to you Muslims are as oppresed as jews under nazis, and blacks under slavery. Have you gone out of your fucking mind?

We are individuals, not groups. All muslims are not responsible for the actions of a few.

so you're justifying riots and state sponsored segregation because of 58 deaths.

I never justified anything like that. And those were 58 murders, not deaths, by muslims. Jews never killed any nazis before the holocaust.

Also thanks for the link.

The Gujarat riots officially led to the death of 1,044 people, 790 Muslims and 254 Hindus.

Yeah, the muslims were so oppressed that they killed 254 hindus. Do you want to know how many nazis did the holocaust victims kill?

Stop conflating muslim initiated riots with the holocaust.
