Relating to corporate greed and wrongdoing (particularly monsanto, walmart, and wall street), governmental corruption, and so on along that theme.

Please?

    Documentaries (I enjoyed these to varying degrees, some I didn't like):

    The Corporation
    The Smartest Guys in the Room
    Food, Inc
    Casino Jack
    IOUSA

    Movies (these are all HBO dramas that are decent but simplified):

    Too Big to Fail
    Barbarians at the Gate
    Pentagon Wars

    can you feel the struggle within?

    Netflix has loads and loads of documentaries, some about corporate/government greed. If you're a member, they're pretty easy to find.

    Do not watch IOUSA. It's a pro-austerity propaganda piece masquerading as a documentary.

    I don't remember the name of it, but the actual documentary about Jack Abramoff (not the Kevin Spacey movie) I found to be extremely illuminating and relevant. It's one of the best docs I've ever seen.
