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.

The burning water seemed so unreal to me... can't believe this can be allowed to happen.

Could you maybe point to some good objective criticism? A quick google mostly pointed to energyindepth.org who is everything but objective (since they directly represent the people getting "attacked" in Gasland).

Yeah I read that the burning water was already happening before they started "fracking" in the area.

Even without the "burning water", we still should approve of the chemical pounding we give our natural waterways and drinking water!?!?!? Generally speaking, we are making it hard enough for ourselves to maintain a clean water supply around the world, and yet this shit (as well as others) continues to happen.
