For life of me I can not think of the name of the show but it comes on the Oprah Network, if I'm not mistaken.

Has the asian lady who travels across America doing films about different types of people, culture, religions, etc. I think her name is Lisa Chang?

I have yet to see a single episode I didn't learn something from. Even the ones that make me wanna claw folks eyes out for their ignorance.

I just watched a Frontline episode -- aired October 9th. It's about Obama and Romney, and it's super good. It's called The Choice 2012.

Very sobering and eye-opening.
Thank you! I just found it on Netflix and added it to my instant list!

This looks interesting...Thank you for the link Martina!


I finally had an opportunity to watch Forks Over Knives...Eyeopening, yet, somehow I think I already knew all of this instinctively. Great film!

If you're teetering on the edge of becoming a vegan or vegetarian, this documentary is for you...This one was one of several that have tipped the scales for me...I will no longer be eating/using animal products...


Vegucated:




Part sociological experiment and part adventure comedy, Vegucated follows three meat- and cheese-loving New Yorkers who agree to adopt a vegan diet for six weeks. Lured by tales of weight lost and health regained, they begin to uncover the hidden sides of animal agriculture that make them wonder whether solutions offered in films like Food, Inc. go far enough. This entertaining documentary showcases the rapid and at times comedic evolution of three people who discover they can change the world one bite at a time.

Default The Corporation


The documentary shows the development of the contemporary business corporation, from a legal entity that originated as a government-chartered institution meant to affect specific public functions, to the rise of the modern commercial institution entitled to most of the legal rights of a person.

One theme is its assessment as a "personality", as a result of an 1886 case in the United States Supreme Court in which a statement by Chief Justice Morrison R. Waite led to corporations as "persons" having the same rights as human beings, based on the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Topics addressed include:
- the Business Plot, where in 1933, General Smedley Butler exposed an alleged corporate plot against then U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt; the tragedy of the commons;

-Dwight D. Eisenhower's warning people to beware of the rising military-industrial complex;

-economic externalities;

-suppression of an investigative news story about Bovine Growth Hormone on a Fox News Channel affiliate television station;

-the invention of the soft drink Fanta by the Coca-Cola Company due to the trade embargo on Nazi Germany;

-the alleged role of IBM in the Nazi holocaust (see IBM and the Holocaust);

-the Cochabamba protests of 2000 brought on by the privatization of Bolivia's municipal water supply by the Bechtel Corporation;

- in general themes of corporate social responsibility, the notion of limited liability, the corporation as a psychopath, and the corporation as a person.

- most disturbing to me, how the corporate scientific corporations are "buying" the rights to human and other species genes.


-------------


Best watched in pieces to catch all the overt and covert messaging. Freakin scary stuff when you realize how deeply they are shaping the people we are and the world we live in.

Showtime's current series: "Oliver Stone's Untold History of the United States".

Right now watching: "Johnson, Nixon & Vietnam: Reversal of Fortune".

Wow. Learned quite a few things I never knew from newspapers or history books (as I have from other episodes and time periods in the series).

I recommend the series highly.
