THE CORPORATION explores the nature and spectacular rise of the dominant institution of our time. Footage from pop culture, advertising, TV news, and corporate propaganda, illuminates the corporation's grip on our lives. Taking its legal status as a "person" to its logical conclusion, the film puts the corporation on the psychiatrist's couch to ask "What kind of person is it?" Provoking, witty, sweepingly informative, The Corporation includes forty interviews with corporate insiders and critics - including Milton Friedman, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, and Michael Moore - plus true confessions, case studies and strategies for change. ]]> 2010-04-19 07:20:01 http://the-documentary.net/movie/A-Brief-History-of-Time/

Following on the heels of his Palm d'Or winning "Fahrenheit 9/11" and his Oscar winning film "Bowling for Columbine," acclaimed filmmaker Michael Moore's new documentary sets out to investigate the American healthcare system. Sticking to his tried-and-true one-man approach, Moore sheds light on the complicated medical affairs of individuals and local communities. "Sicko" is not a movie about the 50 million Americans walking around without health insurance. Sicko is a movie about the other 250 million of us who have insurance, but are being taken advantage of. "Sicko" investigates the United States health care system with a focus on for-profit health insurance and the pharmaceutical industry. The film contrasts the U.S. system with Canada's single player system and other universal healthcare systems, including those in France, England and Cuba.]]> 2010-04-19 07:20:01 http://the-documentary.net/movie/Hoop-Dreams/

The documentary "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room,'' features Jeff Skilling in a skit mocking company accounting methods that were used to hide debt off the books. "We're going to move from mark-to-market accounting to something I call HFV, or hypothetical future value accounting,'' Skilling says."If we can do that, we can add a kazillion dollars to the bottom line.'' Enron commissioned hundreds of videotapes, some of which were used in the documentary. Others have been used in the Enron Broadband Services trial, which is in progress. Still others may provide incriminating evidence at the January 2006 accounting fraud trial of Skilling, Ken Lay and Rick Causey. "There's a lot that hasn't surfaced yet,'' said Alex Gibney, the documentary's director."Some of the stuff that is still out there is apparently not to be believed.'']]> 2009-12-10 22:08:26 http://the-documentary.net/movie/step-into-liquid/
A clever name for a classic surfing documentary. Dana Brown's movie has the exotic locations, breezy narration, uplifting stories, and cracked surfer wisdom you expect from the genre. What sets the movie apart is the astonishing sequence that ends it, in which a team of surfers use Jet Skis to catch the sixty-foot waves they find in the middle of the ocean. Other notable interludes include the guys who surf the freezing, muddy waters of Lake Michigan and the professional women surfers who test their mettle at Tahiti's Teahupo'o, dubbed "the wave with teeth" because it breaks over a shallow coral reef.]]> 2009-12-11 02:36:51 http://the-documentary.net/movie/the-fog-of-war-documentary-about-sec-of-defense-robert-mcnamara-s-experience/

An intimate and moving meditation on the late musician and artist Kurt Cobain, based on more than 25 hours of previously unheard audiotaped interviews conducted with Cobain by noted music journalist Michael Azerrad for his book "Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana." In the film, Kurt Cobain recounts his own life - from his childhood and adolescence to his days of musical discovery and later dealings with explosive fame - and offers often piercing insights into his life, music, and times. The conversations heard in the film have never before been made public and they reveal a highly personal portrait of an artist much discussed but not particularly well understood.]]> 2009-12-11 02:36:51 http://the-documentary.net/movie/the-up-series/

Over 30 million people in the United States regularly smoke marijuana. Many smoke to unwind after a busy day, to relieve stress, or simply for fun. Some smoke for spiritual reasons such as to assist in meditation, to be more conscious of the present moment, or to enhance their awareness at all levels. Others, suffering from AIDS, cancer, chronic pain, glaucoma, and stomach ailments, smoke marijuana because they find it to be an effective, safe, and inexpensive treatment for their condition.]]> 2009-12-10 21:29:14 http://the-documentary.net/movie/dangerous-companions/

A look at nine months in the lives of two half-sibling couples, one in Scotland and one in America, whose incestuous relationships began after reuniting as adults and which they believe to be the result of Genetic Sexual Attraction, which occurs between relatives who are reunited as adults after several years apart. Destroying marriages, facing prosecution and disowned by families and friends, both couples feel a sense of helplessness about the strength of their forbidden love and anger at the society that refuses to accept their love between consenting adults. ]]> 2009-12-03 22:35:47 http://the-documentary.net/movie/Andy-Warhol-A-Documentary-Film/
