Recommended documentaries?

[Slippers]

Apologies if this is the wrong section to post this; I tried to think of where it would fit but I don't even know.

Anyway; have any recommendations for documentaries/videos to learn about leftist/radical stuff. Or even just the history of revolutions and such?

I ask because so much is just; you know; the "Communism is evil etc. etc. etc.".

I don't necessarily want to watch explicitly pro-leftist documentaries, though that'd be nice. I suspect there aren't that many of them, if any. At least something that's informative and not totally a bunch of crap?

Thank you.

There is this like, two-part 7 hour long documentary called "Che" that I've had forever but never bothered to watch. You could try that out and let me know if it's worth watching.

Alternatively, you could watch something that will cry... Earthlings. This documentary about animal abuse and shit.

If you want something more watchable, there are always fictional movies. I thought Full Metal Jacket kicked ass but it was fictional. Not really leftist either, but at least it isn't propaganda. Whatever, it's historical.

Actually, you could watch the Baader-Meinhof Complex. That was a pro-German piece about the RAF, but it tries to be neutral on it up until the end where you basically have to pick a side. They ended up ending it the way the West German government said it did. Which, depending who you are, may be what you agree probably happened.

Basically anything by Frederick Weisman. There's also the Weather Underground, the Baader Meinhof Complex movie, and so many others.

Will the Real Terrorist Please Stand Up, Leila Khaled: Hijacker, Seeing Red, The War on Democracy, and South of the Border.

The odd Michael Moore can be enjoyable (namely Bowling for Columbine, Sicko and Capitalism: A Love Story). Also any Alex Gibney - Enron: Smartest Guys in the Room, Taxi to the Dark Side, Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God. Also Inside Job and The Corporation were very informative and entertaining.

Ever since I've made the liberating jump from liberalism to Marxism, I've found Michael Moore annoying in many ways. Agree with you on Taxi the Dark Side. Twas a great documentary.
