Down The Rabbit Hole We Go! 300+ Mind Expanding Documentaries

From HKUD



I watch a lot of documentaries. I think they are incredible tools for learning and increasing our awareness of important issues. The power of an interesting documentary is that it can open our minds to new possibilities and deepen our understanding of the world.
On this list of mind expanding documentaries you will find different viewpoints, controversial opinions and even contradictory ideas. Critical thinking is recommended. I’m not a big fan of conspiracy documentaries but I do like films that challenge consensus reality and provoke us to question the everyday ideas, opinions and practices we usually take for granted.
Watching documentaries is one of my favorite methods of self-education. If I find a documentary inspiring, I usually spend more time researching the different ideas and interesting people interviewed in the film.

I see that page links to the "The century of self" documentary.

That was very interesting, how cigarette companies and other big businesses in America hired psychologists to help to help them sell/market their products.
(something new in the 1950's or so )

The cigarette companies played on womens liberation/equality issues.
Others were able to convince the (at the time) very conservative and frugal American society that they could buy things they wanted, not just things they needed.

A lot of reviews say it adds malware and ads
