I recently saw a couple really interesting documentaries that I believe are worth checking out.
The first, Why We Fight, came to my attention after seeing it mentioned on the Daily Show. The Internet Movie Database describes it as so:
In President Dwight D. Eisenhower's farewell address in 1961 he said: "In the councils of government we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist." Director Eugene Jarecki's documentary, Why We Fight, examines America's relationship with the privatized military corporations of today and how they influence American foreign and domestic policy. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at last year's Sundance Film Festival Why We Fight includes interviews with John McCain, Richard Perle, Bill Kristol, and Gore Vidal.
The second, The Future of Food, was recommended by my friend Daniel in a very funny email message. Evidently, he made contact with the writer/director Deborah Koons Garcia who was once married to Jerry Garcia.
The IMDB describes this one as:
An in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled grocery store shelves for the past decade.
Both these movies will incite debate into the current state of affairs inside the USA and hopefully get people thinking.
