I recently started watching a 3 part Chinese Revolution documentary, https://youtu.be/J94I0UCNBZk this is part of it. It’s decent enough and critical of China to a normal degree. It sorta made me interested in Documentaries again, but it left me wanting a more left-leaning doc. I’ve also loved watching Planet Earth from the unholy BBC🤮(ik ik but their nature docs are spectacular), I also liked Cuba and the cameraman and SuperSize Me was an enjoyable movie(I still eat McD like a good lil American boy) What documentaries do you like? Political or not makes no difference. Also it doesn’t matter if it’s tough to find, I’m sure I can find it for free somewhere
a few:
- Seeing Red
- Tsar to Lenin
- Fidel - The untold story (Cuban Revolution)
- How Yukong moved the mountains (Chinese Revolution)
- Malcolm X - Make it Plain
- The Upright Man (Thomas Sankara)
- Grenada - Future coming Towards Us
- Paul Robeson - Here I Stand
- Black gods with guns - Robert F Williams and Black Power
- The Act of Killing - Communist purging in Indonesia
- Lenin - old British Documentary
- Oliver Stone - Untold History of the US
- Soviet Storm - WW2 in the East
- Red ant dream
- The Murder of Fred Hampton
- The Revolution will not be televised (Chavez and Venezuela)
- A place called Chiapas (EZLN)
- Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang in Seoul (서울의 평양 시민들)
- The Haircut - A North Korean Adventure
- Weight of Chains - The overthrow of Yugoslavia.
Las sandinistas, The Propaganda Game, TPB AFK, this is a nice documentary about Laos, Communist Poland Documentary, Zapatistas, crónica de una rebelión, biopic about the Patagonia rebelede, there have to be more.
I’ve been watching some painfully biased documentaries this week. But it’s kind of a fun exercise in media analysis.
That one was pretty unbiased and Fidel pulls up like a total Chad in that doc. Literally every second of Castro is gold in there
