Ask HN: What are some of the best documentaries you've seen?
“The Century of the Self” by Adam Curtis.https://youtu.be/eJ3RzGoQC4sIt goes through each decade of the 1900s and explains how Freud’s psychology and the new field of marketing completely reshaped society. For the first time in my life I feel like I understood the “why” of how things work in American society. This film is probably best if you’re age 40+ and actually remember some of the events.
