site admin·
The BBC's collection of Adam Curtis documentaries, including The Century of the Self, HyperNormalisation, Can't Get You Out of My Head, and Bitter Lake. Curtis uses archive footage and quiet narration to trace how power, ideology and emotion have shaped the modern world, from Freud's nephew inventing public relations to the strange unreality of contemporary politics.

Charles Ferguson's Oscar-winning documentary on the 2008 financial crisis. Names the people, the decisions and the conflicts of interest that brought the global economy to its knees, and shows how almost none of them faced any consequences. The clearest single explanation of how the crash actually happened, told without conspiracy theories and without softening the blow. The IMDb page links to legitimate streaming and rental options. Worth watching even if you think you already know the story
