Hi guys,
I'd like to start a MUST SEE DOCUMENTARY (interview/movie) thread.
A thread about documentaries/interviews/movies that was good enough that you talked about it for days or weeks afterwards.
PLEASE: NO FICTIONAL BLOCKBUSTER MOVIES.
I'm looking for documentaries/interview recommendations that will make you question issues you thought you knew. I'm open to the exact topic, but I'd prefer mainly unbiased movies. (Ha ha, Michael Moore anyone?) I personally don't like MM (biased and political), but if enough people say MM movie "X" is good - then I'll watch it.
For example, I recently watch a movie called "The One Percent" about the expanding wealth gap in America. I thought it was well presented, Unbiased, and it was directed -BY THE SON- of one of the Ultra-rich (the 1 percent). The documentary left me dumbfounded. ...And to top it off - it was from 5 years ago! (where the heck was I?)
...So I'm wondering how may other movies I've missed. (...or how many have YOU missed?)
OSA has a good broad spectrum of people here, so I'd like your documentary/interview/movie suggestions. This thread is for everyone, so topics is open.
I'm personally interested in financial and social hierarchy in America, but again - the topic can be whatever you think it interesting to you.
Movie, Documentary, TV interviews, whatever...
PLEASE: NO FICTIONAL BLOCKBUSTER MOVIES. (or old classics)
Everyone's taste in 'entertainment' movies are different, But that's not my intent.
--------
I'll start,
Documentaries I strongly recommend:
The One Percent -Link-
Summary: The One Percent, refers to the tiny percentage of Americans who control nearly half the wealth of the United States. Johnson's thesis is that this wealth in the hands of so few people is a danger to our very way of life.
Inside Job -Link-
Summary: 'Inside Job' provides a comprehensive analysis of the global financial crisis of 2008, which at a cost over $20 trillion, caused millions of people to lose their jobs and homes in the worst recession since the Great Depression, and nearly resulted in a global financial collapse. The film traces the rise of a rogue industry which has corrupted politics, regulation, and academia.
