Docs
some of the best and/or most interesting/revealing docs pretty much all of them are must see because they tell you a lot about how the human world really works.
also the more of them you watch, the more you start seeing the bigger picture & start fearing that it really is all interlinked with each other & done on purpose by .... ??
true, not all are factual & some should be taken with a 'bucket of salt' there is some truth in all of them, but what they really show in my honest opinion;
No matter what you personally think,
Money & Power rule the world..
president's are just puppets & people are expandable 'products'
the best thing one could do eventually is search the interweb for a man called William Engdahl, who is best in explaining the whole 'conspiracy-theory' in average joe language.

The amounts being spend are just mind-boggling, with no regard for human life (on either side) & only used for personal enrichment of a few . but that doesn't stop the US from still using them, especially since former company chiefs are now in the US government & vice versa - DirectorErrol MorrisStarsMegan Ambuhl GranerJaval DavisKen DavisErrol Morris examines the incidents of abuse and torture of suspected terrorists at the hands of U.S. forces at the Abu Ghraib prison.No matter what USgov. want's you to believe.

- DirectorBrett HarveyStarsAdam ScorgieChris BennettSteve BloomBC's illegal marijuana trade industry has evolved into a business giant, dubbed by some involved as 'The Union', Commanding upwards of $7 billion Canadian annually.

Follow filmmaker Adam Scorgie as he demystifies the underground market and brings to light how an industry can function while remaining illegal. Through growers, police officers, criminologists, economists, doctors, politicians and pop culture icons, Scorgie examines the cause and effect nature of the business - an industry that may be profiting more by being illegal.nothing shocking is revealed but still quite informative
e.g. that the US gov. has a ban on all things that are made from the hemp plant (which doesn't produce weed) such as paper, cloth, rope, etc. (which in turn are all BETTER than their respective counterparts wood, cotton, sisal)
also it show's how the weed is grown & how the trade works (in North America) - DirectorYann Arthus-BertrandStarsYann Arthus-BertrandGlenn CloseJacques GamblinWith aerial footage from fifty-four countries, 'Home' is a depiction of how Earth's problems are all interlinked.Amazing images but what puts me off is the continuous green moaning about how the human race will destroy the earth by pumping too much CO2 into the air & somehow every problem comes down to that, which just isn't true & gets kinda annoying while you watch..

- DirectorAlex JonesStarsFrancis BoyleGerald CelenteDaniel EstulinControversial radio host Alex Jones presents his theory that the newly elected 44th president of The United States is merely a puppet in a conspiracy to loot the American public and orchestrate a totalitarian world government.non of the change he promised seemed to result in good things for the US citizens, they who are so proud about their so called 'freedom' have, little by little (and sometimes in big steps), taken their freedom's from them,
but yeah.. i don't wan't to stereotype, but it seems to me that as long as they can have their guns, they'll be happy to give up any other right without a second thought.. - DirectorMichael MooreStarsMichael MooreWilliam BlackJimmy CarterAn examination of the social costs of corporate interests pursuing profits at the expense of the public good.how 99% of people suffer for the wealth of the other 1%

- DirectorJoel GilbertStarsLance LewmanFarewell Israel: Bush, Iran and The Revolt of Islam is an historic journey. From the birth of Islam, through its 1,200 year reign over the civilized world, to the last 300 years of Islamic decline. Overtaken and dominated by the West -- then humiliated by a Jewish state. Islam's historic trials with Jews, and its relationship with conquered non-believers, help illustrate the Islamic world view - all through the eyes of Muslims.Joel Gilbert
so to be taken lightly. it might not be completely 'factual'
still containing some very surprising fact's and a good (though rather long) history lesson on Islam
or maybe he just made it all up??? - DirectorMichael MooreStarsMichael MooreGeorge W. BushBen AffleckMichael Moore's view on what happened to the United States after September 11 and how the Bush Administration allegedly used the tragic event to push forward its agenda for unjust wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.a good old lil Bush-Bashing from Moore
- DirectorWilliam LewisStarsWilliam CohenMatt GonzalezDavid HuxsollThis extremely powerful 89 minute film presents comprehensive documentation from United States Government archives of a massive cover-up, including military and civilian experimentation, dating back over 60 years. As ailing Gulf War Heroes from all 27 coalition countries slowly die of "unknown causes," they wait for answers from their respective governments, but no satisfying or even credible answers have come forth from the military establishment. Records that span over a decade point to negligence and even culpability on the part of the U.S. Department of Defense and their "disposable army" mentality. From the first Gulf War the VA has determined that 250,000 troops are now permanently disabled, 15,000 troops are dead and over 425,000 troops are ill and slowly dying from what the Department of Defense still calls a "mystery disease." How many more will have to die before action is taken?how US gov is killing of it's own troops, experimenting on them with various biological/nuclear weapons
- DirectorAaron RussoStarsAaron RussoJohn TurnerJoe BanisterA documentary that explores the connection between income tax collection and the erosion of civil liberties in America.how america slowly turns into a police state with all liberties gone

- DirectorIrene Lilienheim AngelicoThe Cola Conquest tells the story of Coca-Cola - the 'sublimated essence' of all that American stands for - and the century-long competition with its rival, Pepsi-Cola. Challenging, fast-paced, irreverent, serious and funny by turns, it explores the delicious paradox at the heart of Coke: How did an innocuous soft drink come to wield such enormous power and assume such significance in so many people's lives? What does it tell us about who we are and what we are becoming?how coca cola conquers the world, very interesting & revealing. even if it's from 1998.
- DirectorDavis GuggenheimStarsCharles AdamsJonathan AlterRobert BalfanzAn examination of the current state of education in America today.shows the *beeped* up US public school system, no wonder they're all so stupid ;)
- DirectorBarbara-Anne SteegmullerStarsChristy JohnsonMax CarterHarry S. TrumanSuperpower illustrates how the United States has leveraged its position to ensure unilateral world domination through absolute economic and military superiority and government deception.US, the only superpower left with bases & army personnel in almost every country in the world & still looking to expand it's influence..
- StarsRichard BiltonA well made report about the release of the WikiLeaks US cables, which caused mass media-hysteria & riots in the world.
it's show's the impact of the cable release in the world & in the US itself, how it happened and how the US tries to strike back.
The cables themselves contain information about what American diplomats say, when they think the world will never know, who they trust, who they mock, what they want & how they get it. They show a Nation struggling to achieve it's goals, facing defiance around the world & locked into confrontations with old & new enemies.
The cables are quite revealing but for the average Joe there's just way too many of them (250k), so i'm thankful some people analyzed the lot to filter out & explain the important one's.
Also, on a private note, it's amazing to see how America kinda splits up into 2 camps, one thinks of J. Assange & B. Manning as whistle blower heroes & the other want's to personally execute them for being unpatriotic traitors. - StarsRichard HammondEdgar D. MitchellJürg SchweizerThis documentary features state-of-the-art camera technology used to focus on what humans cannot see with the naked eye.Camera's can show us a lot of thing's that are otherwise invisible to the human eye, amazing images but they still could have done better.
- DirectorMark DanielsAn examination of the how television news in the US has covered war from Vietnam to the present day.A very interesting story on how the US gov creates, sells, justifies & cover's up it's 'wars' to the world.. & what really happened.
- DirectorJanus MetzDanish soldiers are sent to Afghanistan in 2009 for 6 months, to help stabilize the country against the Taliban. They're stationed on Armadillo military base in Helman province. Unlike other war movies, this is the real deal - no actors.follows a group of danish soldiers in Afghanistan eager to get into a fight & their (very) different reactions when it eventually happens. very well made
