Documentary and Lecture Thread?

[Deicide]

Post a Documentary or Lecture, it doesn't have to relate to Communism (although it would be nice to see a Pro-Marxist documentary), it can be about History, Science, Economics, Nature, Philosophy or whatever you want. But explain what the documentary or lecture is specifically about and why people should watch it!

This is the first part of the (famous?) ''Civilisation'' series by the BBC from 1969.

Civilisation: The Skin of Our Teeth

The Skin of our Teeth - In this the first episode Clark travels from Byzantine Ravenna to the Celtic Hebrides, from the Norway of the Vikings to Charlemagne's chapel at Aachen, telling his story of the Dark Ages; the six centuries following the collapse of the Roman Empire.


You should watch it because the Dark Ages are damn fucking interesting.

I've posted this in a seperate thread before, it's about the militarization of civilian life:

Documentary: Albania - We Are the Future 1/4

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeGOZ4CrCno


From 1948 until 1991, Albania was completely isolated from the rest of the world. Dictator Enver Hoxha, a friend and admirer of Joseph Stalin, called his country a paradise on earth. Traveling was taboo, private property was abolished, and the outside world was considered to be the enemy. Hoxha had the whole country covered with 750.000 concrete bunkers. Every family had to be able to defend itself from a bunker two meters in diameter. Albania was gray and desperate then, but has become much more colorful in recent years. Half of the population is younger than 20 years of age. In the train, they invite the world to come and get to know them.
