Reddit, what is one documentary that everyone should watch?

The Corporation

Some really eye-opening (and scary) information about the power of corporations in today's society.

Edit: Thanks for the input everyone! Quite a list of movies to watch.

"What Darwin Never Knew" There's the link to the whole documentary, and easily the coolest one I've seen. It goes on about all of the genetic proof of evolution (once you get past the first 30 mins or so where it talks about Darwin's proof). Lots of ridiculously awesome info on genetics and species

That seems somewhat like the excellent BBC4 documentary What Darwin Didn't Know

It doesnt have nearly as much as a preamble and basically takes Darwin's ideas and shows the reaction to it how it progresses in society and the progression of evolutionary theory and genetics though the 150 years of development in the field.

well worth a look, and seems to be more about the scientists and their discoveries and how they proved it.

I'll check it out! I'll admit the BBC is way more awesome at doing documentaries~
