Earthlings (2005) uses hidden cameras to bring to you shocking footage of what goes on behind the closed walls of the meat industry.

Oh gods... Earthlings....

ppl should just go vegan and pretend they watched Earthlings but not actually watch it.

Agreed. I can't bring myself to recommend it, because it is outright traumatizing to watch. But that's the point. Sigh.

This should be the top of the list. No other documentary is as hard hitting and life changing as Earthlings.

Born Rich is a good complement to one percent, even if it is slow and quietly infuriating. While the director could easily be said to be a hypocrite, I appreciate that he's turned the lens inward and provided an inside view into their lives.

Hypernormalisation was a good one though not exactly that eye-opening. everyone knows this shit goes on.

I haven't managed to sit thru the whole thing. I found Adam Curtis' earlier three-part series more watchable.

If you think you have NOTHING TO HIDE, this may be worth watching. I think the surveillance state is very worrying and also complex. It's a combination of government agencies and corporations tracking you and trading/selling information around. It's not limited to just one country and it's especially worrying if you're an activist, but I think it concerns everyone.

I just finished watching this one about five minutes ago, and i have to say it is one of the most powerful documentaries on anarchism. Really lit a flame in me, thanks for sharing.

You're considering being an anarchist now?

Fuck yes i am, that documentary really felt like an eye-opener. Seems like a society without leaders and hierarchy is after all not some silly daydream.

Food Chain. Underrated documentary about worker exploitation in US agriculture industries.

Ancient Aliens Debunked, by Chris White. His explanation of Baalbek took all the mystery out of it, in a good way.
