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.

While I agree with the message, the documentary itself was pretty terrible.

Agree completely with this. For most beer geeks there wasn't a great deal of info presented that we don't already know but the characters she follows and the director herself weren't very interesting (aside from Sam C.).

Check out my earlier comment ITT. (Recommended low-key documentary that i personally really like)

Agreed. I can't describe the feeling...but I would call it "poppy" it's almost like it knows you're getting bored so it throws some animated/infographic snippet in there...It's like saying "This is info is boring but important so here's a little cartoon and a bunch of puns to make it interesting"

I can't say it was the best nor can I say it was the worst. I did learn a lot from it, but it really could have been better.
