Corruption - Must-See Documentaries

The main difference between a Latin American and a North American, is that the Latin American knows his country is corrupt.

Many of these documentaries, you will never see on mainstream media such as CNN, Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC, CTV, Global:

  • Inside Job. This won the Oscar for Best Documentary. Producer Charles Ferguson began his Academy Award acceptance speech by reminding us that three years after our worst financial meltdown "not a single financial executive has gone to jail."' News interview of the producer:

  • The Corporation: This film explains how the corporation has the same traits as a psychopath. Sounds ridiculous but their explanation makes sense. Some of their revelations are shocking.
  • UNCOVERED: The War on Iraq. Their website is lobbying Canada to take in 5,500 U.S. Soldiers who refused to fight and are in grave danger of persecution by the Bush Admin.) This film came out on Nov 2003 (before Fahrenheit 9/11). It explained how the Bush Administration lied, defrauded, deceived and committed multiple federal and international crimes. Noam Chomsky was right. The only government leaders that get charged with war crimes are the ones that lose the war. The winners never get charged with their war crimes.
  • Why We Fight This explains how the American Military Industrial Complex is a factor in the string of wars that the US have engaged in.
  • Fog of War This is a documentary of Robert McNamara, who was the Secretary of Defense during the Vietnam war. McNamara explains how the war was a mistake.
  • Missing: This movie is based on true story and shows how spreading democracy is another lie. Chile is one of several countries that had a democratically elected government, only to be replaced by the US with a dictator. The ambassador's lecturing to Jack Lemmon at the end explains volumes. (Missing on Youtube)
  • Smartest guys in the room: This documentary shows how evil executives can be and how they can steal so much from so many people.
  • Lord of War: Excellent, suspenseful, very disturbing, insightful and educational. Nicholas Cage is an arms dealer. Based on actual events and real arms dealers. Approximtely 15+ years ago, Forbes had an arms dealer as one of the top 10 richest men in the world. This movie shows how lucrative this business is and how corrupt the world is.
  • Noam Chomsky's lectures. You can see some of them by searching for "Noam Chomsky" on YouTube
  • The Jesus Factor. Without separation of church and state, you get leaders like George Bush.
  • CBC documentaries, such as Fifth Estate (The Lies that Led to War) , The Lens and the Passionate Eye (The Ground Truth: After the Killing Ends, Iraq's Missing Billions, No End in Sight, etc.)
    The Lies that Led to War

    The Ground Truth: After the Killing Ends

    Iraq's Missing Billions

    No End in Sight - 1 of 3

    No End in Sight - 2 of 3

    No End in Sight - 3 of 3
  • War Made Easy with Sean Penn and Norman Solomon. Explains how you've been lied to and duped, again and again. Democracy can only work if you know the truth, otherwise you have an illusion of democracy.
  • I.O.U.S.A. This came out in 2008, which warned of the pending debt crisis, shocking fiscal condition and potential economic disaster.
