Anyone have any good liberal documentary suggestions?
Edited on Tue Jan-03-06 01:34 PM by iconoclastNYC
None of my friends understand why i'm so passionate about the need to get involved and resist the Republican agenda so I figured I'd organize and host a liberal documentary series. Hopefully this would open up some minds and get some more people involved in politics in 2006.

The following are definately on my list : Supersize Me, The Hunting of the President, Walmart: The High Cost of Low Prices, The Corporation, Outfoxed, and 911 : Confronting the Evidence.

Does anyone know of a good documentary that deals with Big Media Corporate consoldation and the death of true journalism in America? What about something dealing with Stolen Elections?

Also...if you think of any other engaging documentaries that would appeal to and motivate people, I'd appreciate it greatly.

1. I watched Control Room last night
about Al Jazeera at the beginning of the Iraq invasion.
Dark Days about homeless people living in abandoned subway tunnels in NYC

2. Orwell Rolls in his Grave.
Hands down the best representation of what is happening in Amerika- and why!

Hijacking Catastrophe is also excellent.

3. Here are a couple more
The Corporation is an excellent one. Also I have converted a number of my so called "Libertarian" friends with "Truth and Lies about 9-11". This one tends to leave them speechless.

"Uncovered: The War On Iraq", by Robert Greenwald who also did Outfoxed.
