Documentary: "Good Copy Bad Copy" (2007)

Criticism: It's refreshing to know that the Nigerian film 'industry' and the Brazilian music 'industry' is more bleeding-edge than the corporate dinosaur carcases in the USA. Watch this film here.

Documentary: "Manufactured Landscapes" (2006)

Criticism: Distopian future? No -- Distopian present. Hideous imagery.

Documentary: "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room" (2005)

Criticism: If this film doesn't make your blood boil, watch it over and over again until it does.

Enron functioned as the equivalent of an enemy nation-state (in economic, not geo-political terms) at war against its "clients," specifically the state of California.

This is old news, you say, and in the past, you say? The same selfish greed that fueled Enron is (and has been) fueling our current economic 'crisis'. This is what happens when you turn over control of valuable resources to obsessive-compulsive individuals who should be kept away from the general public.

An excellent case for the necessity of good governmental efforts to oversee the madness and insanity of the so-called "free market".

Documentary: "Escape from Suburbia" (2007)

Criticism: A follow-up to the 2004 documentary, "The End of Suburbia". Very positive in its overall tone. Offers examples of solutions of how to move from unsustainability to sustainability. Progressive. Urban farms. Indigenous sources of knowledge. Human life-based. Locally sustainable communities.

Documentary: "The World According to Monsanto" (2008)

Criticism: A true horror story. More "Trader Joe's" locations, please.

Documentary: "The End of America" (2008)

Criticism: An easy to understand, 10-step indictment. Frightening. Accurate. Historical comparative analysis.

Documentaries = education, not entertainment. Fundamental difference.

Documentary: "Life and Debt" (2001)

Criticism: Jamaica. IMF. World Bank. Globalization. Comparative study. Finance. Economics. Import / Export.

Must-see.

Documentary: "The End of Suburbia" (2004)

Criticism: It's the end of the (suburban) world as we know it, and we all feel numb...

Documentary: "Who Killed the Electric Car?" (2006)

Criticism: Rather, "What killed the electric car?" Answer: Greed.

GM, which has recently been bailed out with public funds, actually destroyed existing production models of a promising alternative.

Documentary: "Flow: For Love of Water" (2008)

Criticism: More privatization gone overboard: water as a profit-making commodity.

Documentary: "The Corporation" (2003)

Criticism: Yet another "must-see" that you won't see on corporate media outlets in the USA.

Documentary: "The War on Democracy" (2007)

Criticism: Yet another "must-see" documentary that you will never see on corporate media outlets in the US.

Now I understand why he said this.

More proof of the disregard for human life and human rights represented by this position, despite these efforts of "reform".

Documentary: "The Take" (2004)

Criticism: A "must-see" that you will never see broadcast on any corporate television outlet in the US.

Watch it here.

Documentary: "The Money Masters" (1996)

Criticism: Only watch this if you are ready for pandora's box to be opened up, only to find out that there is _______ inside.

• Got $20 bucks? Watch it here.
• Got 3.5 hours? Watch it here.
• Got 10 seconds? The gist: 1) Eliminate fractional-reserve banking (oops); 2) Replace the current debt-based monetary system with United States Notes.
