Game theory, machinations of capitalism, illusions of freedom?  Yes please

Adam curtis, the trap.

His freedom of nightmares series was similarly thought provoking

Watched the first one and I'm hooked thanks

That's more mitigation than defence.

Did you not watch "The Golden Age of Trams" last night? Was well wicked.

Great thread idea, love a good documentary. Watched almost all of the ones on Netflix =/


A few suggestions

What Happened, Miss Simone? - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4284010/?ref_=nv_sr_2

All about the life of Nina Simone. I've always been a fan of her music but she really had a tumultuous life, well worth a watch

Searching For Sugar Man - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2125608/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Songwriter and performer that took South Africa by storm in the 70s but nobody knew what happened to him, won the Oscar and BAFTA for best documentary in 2013

Fed Up - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2381335/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Examines the role of the US food industry in keeping America eating, specifically the food industry and its enthusiasm for funding government backed fitness programmes. The film examines whether or not this is just an act of misdirection to keep governments talking about fitness and not huge amount of sugars in our food.

Posted it in the other thread for docs, but its so good I'll post it here as well.

Life In A Day. About 90 mins long, on Youtube. It's essentially a Youtube picture; snippets of the life of people on one day on planet earth in the 21st century edited together to make a documentary. Unique, humbling, funny, sad, the works.

Enjoy!

Last night I watched  Imagine... The Ecstasy of Wilko Johnson. Follows the story of how Wilko dealt with his cancer. Some great archive footage too. Very moving at times. Decided to start it at 11.30 and see if it was any good, got to bed at 1am. 

I had it in the planner but I believe it's still there for viewing if you search. Series 28 episode 5.
